"The number of collaborative communities has continued to grow, showing that, amidst the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, many remain dedicated to the idea that together, they can better achieve common outcomes, solve shared challenges and leverage collective opportunities to improve public health," said Michelle Tarver, M.D., Ph.D., deputy director of the Office of Strategic Partnerships and Technology Innovation in the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health.
Collaborative communities are convened by interested stakeholders and may exist indefinitely, produce deliverables as needed and tackle challenges with broad impacts. The FDA does not establish, lead or operate collaborative communities, nor are collaborative communities intended to advise the FDA. Instead, the FDA may participate in the community in order to contribute its knowledge and perspective to discussions of public health challenges and solutions.
The FDA reached the goal set as part of CDRH's 2018-2020 Strategic Priorities of participating in at least 10 new collaborative communities by December 31, 2020.
The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, protects the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products for human use, and medical devices. The agency also is responsible for the safety and security of our nation's food supply, cosmetics, dietary supplements, products that give off electronic radiation, and for regulating tobacco products.
