Human Drug Advisory Committees
Applying for Membership on FDA Advisory Committees
As part of the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) ongoing efforts to recruit qualified experts with minimal conflicts of interest who are interested in serving on FDA advisory committees, FDA is requesting nominations for members to serve on its advisory committees. More information (2/2007) |
Introduction
Advisory committees provide FDA with independent opinions and
recommendations from outside experts on applications to market new drugs, and on FDA
policies. The marketing applications include data to show the safety and
effectiveness of human drugs. The outside experts receive summary information about
the applications and copies of FDA's review of the application documents. Based on this information, advisory committees may recommend approval or disapproval of a
drug's marketing application. FDA generally follows an advisory committee's recommendation,
but is not bound to do so. For more information, please see
