About the Alliance
The Alliance for a Stronger FDA, created in 2007, is a multi-stakeholder organization with 150+ members devoted to advocating for increased appropriations for the FDA and educating policymakers and the public about the FDA's mission and responsibilities. The Alliance’s unique coalition of patient and consumer groups and industry mirrors FDA’s unique role in public health, safety, and commerce.
A science-based, predictable, and efficient FDA is essential, but can only carry out its core mission and responsibilities if it has sufficient resources to do so. As FDA’s responsibilities have grown, so must its budget. If FDA lacks funding, there is no backstop, no other agency, that performs the critical work of the FDA.
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) oversees products and services that comprise more than 20% of all national consumer spending, exceeding $2.7 trillion per year. Every American is touched multiple times each day by FDA-regulated products and services and relies on FDA for safe foods and safe and effective medical products. Not only is FDA pivotal to public health and safety, but it is also vital to our nation’s growth and prosperity and our national defense.
