Advisory Committees Give FDA Critical Advice and the Public a Voice

At the FDA, we rely on our many advisory committees to help us make sound decisions based on the best science available.  The FDA’s complex and multifaceted mission includes evaluating new medical/dental devices and medicines, including vaccines and other therapies, to determine if they are safe and effective for their intended use.  FDA advisory committees give our own agency experts outside, independent, and professional advice on various complex scientific, technical, and policy issues.  On June 13, the FDA is holding a virtual public meeting to solicit input on the advisory committee system.
