At the Alliance for a Stronger FDA, our mission goes beyond advocating for sufficient FDA funding. We are dedicated to educating the public, media, and policymakers about FDA's critical role in protecting and promoting America's public health.

That's why we recently (August ‘23) relaunched our website, www.strengthenfda.org. The new site provides an in-depth look at FDA's wide-ranging responsibilities, from overseeing food safety and approving life-saving drugs to regulating medical devices and biotech innovations.

Explore the site and you'll find a wealth of valuable resources:

  • The latest news and analysis in our Friday Update

  • Materials on FY20-FY24 budget and appropriations cycle

  • Full transcripts and recordings from our past webinars featuring FDA leaders

  • Fact sheets explaining the FDA's core functions

  • Links to key FDA data and documents

This is just the beginning. Our goal is to make the Alliance For a Stronger FDA the go-to source for media and the public to learn about the FDA. Let us know if you have suggestions for information related to the FDA's mission that could benefit your reporting.

Stay tuned as we continue expanding the site's content. With your help, we can showcase all the vital work FDA does to protect American lives.
