- Mission [1]
- FDA’s strategic priorities in responding to the public health challenges of the 21st century are to advance regulatory science
and innovation; strengthen the safety and integrity of the global supply chain; strengthen compliance and enforcement activities
to support public health; expand efforts to meet the needs of special populations; advance medical countermeasures and emergency
preparedness; advance food safety and nutrition; promote public health by advancing the safety and effectiveness of medical
products; establish an effective tobacco regulation, prevention, and control program; and manage for organizational excellence
and accountability. The Pediatric Advisory Committee advises and makes recommendations to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs
on matters relating to pediatric therapeutics, pediatric research, and any other matter involving pediatrics for which the
Food and Drug Administration has regulatory responsibility. The Committee also advises and makes recommendations to the Secretary
pursuant to 45 CFR 46.407 on research involving children as subjects that is conducted or supported by the Department of Health
and Human Services. The recommendations of this committee support the agency by improving patient and consumer safety.
