October 5, 2021 - October 6, 2021
The National Academies’ will host a workshop to examine the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s historic and recent use of the Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines.

The workshop will also examine EUAs and similar mechanisms used by other entities within the global health regulatory system, lessons that U.S. and global regulatory and public health partners can learn from one another, and ways to enhance international cooperation between the FDA and its global partners.
