VIEW LARGER COVER

The year 2009 saw continued upheaval in the scientific and business landscape of drug development. With the new administration came a renewed emphasis on science, as expressed by President Obama in a speech he delivered at the National Academy of Sciences, "Science is more essential for our prosperity, our security, our health, our environment, and our quality of life than it has ever been before."

The activities of the National Academies’ Forum on Drug Discovery, Development, and Translation (the Forum) in 2009 reflected the excitement and dynamism of this environment, focusing on four critical areas:

  • Promoting the scientific basis for the regulation of drugs
  • Transforming clinical research
  • Fostering a robust research environment through collaboration
  • Promoting global leadership in drug development and translation

This was a year to remember for new ground covered. The Forum provided an important lens for its diverse members and the public to collectively reflect, understand, and act on this changing environment.
