Hamburg's meeting and the Seyfert-Margolis pilot; commissioners Califf, Gottlieb, Woodcock, McClellan; the division chiefs of CDER, CDRH and CBER
This is Jonathan Hare's account, with its provenance shown. The person or organization named has not yet claimed or corrected it.
The Food and Drug Administration is, in this record, the agency the Resilient Network Systems work kept walking into: the Hamburg meeting and the FDA-wide pilot assigned to Vicki Seyfert-Margolis; and, in the years since, numerous meetings by Jonathan Hare and Jack Lewin with almost every commissioner — Robert Califf, Scott Gottlieb, Janet Woodcock, and many times Mark McClellan — and close work with the division chiefs of CDER, CDRH and CBER (S-192). Around it, in the same account: the Secretaries of HHS, administrators of CMS, the NIH under Francis Collins (and Florence Haseltine's NIH world), AHRQ under Carolyn Clancy, and the VA. Individuals get pages as the email archive names them; this page is the frame.
