Harvey W. Wiley LecturEshiip

Description

This honor, bestowed annually, is a lectureship named in honor of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the renowned physician-chemist who, at the turn of the 20th century, championed a legislative crusade against food adulteration, earning him the title of "Father of the Pure Food and Drugs Act" when it was enacted into law in 1906. The Lecture is presented by the honoree at the Food and Drug Law Institute Annual Meeting each spring.

Eligibility

Lecturers shall be prominent figures from the fields of public health, health research, public health education, health care delivery, science journalism, food and drug law, and public policy-making, who can:

  • promote broader public enlightenment of, and support for, the mission of FDA;
  • provide intellectually stimulating, futurist perspectives on 21st century roles of the FDA in public health;
  • initiate a meaningful dialogue on innovative ways the FDAAA and its membership can impact the current and future mission of the FDA and its capacities to protect and promote the public health.

Selection

Suggestions for Lecturers can be made by any Association member and must be directed to the Awards Committee for initial consideration. Final invitations to Wiley Lecturers will be made by the Chairman of the Board.
