2004 FDA SCIENCE FORUM
FDA Science: The Critical Path from Concept to Consumer
The 10th FDA Science Forum is cosponsored by
FDA's Office of Science and Health Coordination
The Williamsburg BioProcessing Foundation
AOAC International
Prous Science
The FDA Chapter of Sigma Xi
May 18-19, 2004
Washington Convention Center
Washington, DC
Each year since 1993, the FDA Science Forum has served as a comprehensive
training program, and as a vehicle to communicate and promote issues relating
to scientific development and associated regulatory concerns. This annual event
showcases FDA's scientific achievements, facilitates discussions on topics
of interest to FDA and its stakeholders, promotes both internal and external
collaborations, and recognizes outstanding research and science-based review
performance with Scientific Achievement Awards.
This is the only forum where scientists from all disciplines and organizational
components of FDA meet to share data, knowledge, and ideas on the science-based
mission of the Agency. The Science Forum also features presentations by leaders
of the academic and public health communities, and thereby provides an excellent
environment for the open discussion of emerging science, technology, and
methodologies, as well as how they can be used to meet the Nation's public health
needs.
Open to the public, the 2004 Forum is designed to bring FDA scientists together
with representatives from other components of DHHS, industry, academia,
government agencies, consumer and patient advocacy groups, Congress,
international constituents, and many other stakeholders. This meeting
offers a valuable opportunity for academia and industry to learn about
FDA research, collaboration opportunities, and regulatory priorities.
