What is the MUMS Coalition?
It is a coalition of producer commodity groups, pharmaceutical companies through the Animal Health Institute [AHI], veterinarians through the American Veterinary Medical Association [AVMA] and others who have joined together because of their common interest in seeing more drugs made available for minor species and minor uses. The coalition is promoting legislation to congress to do this through a number of ways including new FDA procedures, tax incentives, and incentives for minor use/minor species drug approval through grants and extension of marketing exclusivity periods.
