AADAP Summary...
The AADAP Program was officially
established within the Service’s
National Fish Hatchery System in January 2003 with the strong
support of then Service Director Steve Williams. The stated goal
of AADAP is to ensure continued progress towards obtaining
FDA-approved and EPA-compliant new animal drug approvals
for use in Federal, State, Tribal and private aquaculture
programs throughout the United States. As its name implies,
the AADAP is a broad, partner-based program of national scope.
Utilizing increased program funding and staff, the AADAP
incorporates ongoing Service compassionate
INAD and NADA activities that were previously coordinated
by the Service’s National INAD Office (NIO). Ongoing
and expanded activities include INAD administration, the
National INAD Program that allows for participation by non-Service
facilities on Service-held INADs, and a drug research program
that is focused on the generation of efficacy and target
animal safety data to support new animal drug approvals (NADAs).
Added responsibilities of AADAP include a defined role in
NADA management and information transfer and dissemination.
Although the NIO remains in existence, it is now a part of
the AADAP Program, both of which are located in Bozeman,
MT. In somewhat generic terms, the AADAP will help to lead
a coordinated national effort to generate data, analyze results,
compile final study reports, disseminate information and
data, and manage all other aspects of requisite data submissions
to FDA in support of new animal drug approvals for aquatic
species. The AADAP builds on long-standing partnerships between
the Service’s NIO and over 50 Federal, State, Tribal
and/or private agencies or organizations. The AADAP, in its
role of obtaining new approved drugs and chemicals for aquatic
species, is integral to the Service’s successful stewardship
of our natural resources for the enjoyment of all Americans.
