  • National Interest Exception (NIE) Application How-To Guide
    National Interest Exception (NIE) Application How-To Guide Where and How Do I Apply for an NIE? The application for an NIE must be submitted to the U.S. consulate, regardless of whether a valid visa or ESTA approval is available or whether a new U.S. visa is being applied for. The process of applying for a NIE may vary from country to country or from U.S. consulate to consulate. In addition, the application itself is constantly subject to change (e.g., contact email addresses change, etc.). The NIE application is about supporting the urgency and importance of your trip to the United States. You must be able to demonstrate the planned activity must physically take place in the United States and cannot be rescheduled or conducted remotely. Therefore, you generally need to prepare the following NIE application documents: • Letter of justification and, if requested, further proof (e.g. Company Letter) • Copy of passport • Travel data • ESTA approval/visa copy • If necessary, further documents (depending on the U.S. consulate) When Should I Apply for a NIE? You should plan on approximately three to six weeks* to process your NIE application, although processing times vary depending on the U.S. consulate. *Taking internal company policies and procedures into account, ISPE recommends that the NIE application is done by the beginning of September. How long is my NIE valid? NIEs are now valid for 12 months from the date of approval by the U.S. authorities and entitle the holder to multiple entries for the approved purpose of stay within this period.

    July 6, 2021 Board of Directors Eli Lilly and Company Via email: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Dear Directors, I hope this letter finds you well. I’m writing to you again to ask that you make a positive change, in line with industry and scientific thinking, for both animals and science. Will you ensure that Eli Lilly never again conducts, commissions, or funds forced swim test experiments? PETA has provided scientific documentation on the controversy surrounding this test. We have shown Eli Lilly executives that the company’s own published papers show the test to be flawed and inefficient. When this evidence was ignored, we attended shareholder meetings, held demonstrations with Indianapolis residents, and took out ads to draw Eli Lilly’s attention to this issue. We have shown that the test has been dropped by Eli Lilly’s competitors, including Johnson & Johnson, Bayer, GlaxoSmithKline, AbbVie Inc., Roche, AstraZeneca, Novo Nordisk A/S, Boehringer Ingelheim, Pfizer, Amgen, and Bristol Myers Squibb.1 Still, Eli Lilly insists on supporting this test. Perhaps the reason Eli Lily won't drop the forced swim test is rooted in its long history of animal use—despite the fact that 95% of new drugs that test safe and effective in animals fail in humans. Eli Lilly has experimented on thousands of animals–including hundreds of dogs and monkeys—in various controversial tests for years, according to U.S.

  • Colonel Eli Lilly (1838-1898) Eli Lilly Was Born July 8, 1838, at Fairmont Plantation on Old Liberty Road in Baltimore, Maryland
    Colonel Eli Lilly (1838-1898) Eli Lilly was born July 8, 1838, at Fairmont Plantation on Old Liberty Road in Baltimore, Maryland. Named after his grandfather, he was the first of 11 children born to Gustavus and Esther Kirby Lilly. Eli was still an infant when the family moved to Lexington, Kentucky, and eventually settled on a farm in Gallatin County, near Warsaw, Kentucky, where they remained for more than a decade. Determined that his children would have an opportunity to acquire the best possible education, Gustavus relocated the family in the spring of 1852 to Greencastle, Indiana, home of a noted Methodist school, Indiana Asbury College (now DePauw University). From 1852 to 1854, young Eli attended the university, where he completed courses in the school’s Primary Department, “designed to furnish young men the means of acquiring a common English education and preparing them for admission to the Scientific or the Preparatory Department.” During this time, he also served as printer’s devil on Asbury Notes, the college newspaper. In the summer of 1854, the 16-year-old graduate traveled 60 miles by train to visit his Uncle Caleb and Aunt Hennie Lilly in the nearby town of Lafayette. A thriving town in the north- central part of the state, Lafayette was filled with interesting sights and shops that promised an exciting visit. One shop in particular, the Good Samaritan Drugstore, captured his attention. Reared in a religious home, young Eli Lilly knew the Biblical significance of the sign and was encouraged to take a closer look. He lingered near the front door, gazing at the walls lined with rows of curiously shaped bottles and jars and smelling the strange aromas that wafted into the street.

  • IFPMA Member Companies Are at the Forefront of the Global Effort To
    IFPMA member companies are at the forefront of the global effort to develop a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine and scale up manufacturing to ensure equitable access to people around the world. In less than a year, several vaccines candidates have been approved or are in advanced Phase III clinical trials with encouraging results. An impressive and unprecedented manufacturing scale-up is also taking place. Most collaborations - if not all - involved some sort of licensing and transfer of technology, which would not be possible in the absence of a robust global IP system. The examples below highlight a few selected collaborations with IFPMA companies. According to Airfinity data, as of July 2021 at least 308 manufacturing and production agreements for COVID-19 vaccines - of which 219 agreements involving technology transfer- around the globe were made public: Pfizer and BioNTech have successfully developed a promising mRNA vaccine, the first to be authorized by a stringent regulatory agency. The collaboration between the companies was agreed in March 2020 and in less than a year, the two companies have developed the vaccine, undertaken vast clinical trials, filed for regulatory approval in multiple geographies, and scaled up manufacturing from zero to supply globally up to 2 billion doses by the end of 2021. Throughout the collaboration, BioNTech and Pfizer have partnered on all stages of vaccine R&D and manufacturing—with BioNTech bringing the novel innovating technology and Pfizer bringing years of expertise in researching, developing, making and distributing vaccines at very large scale. On 31 December 2021, WHO granted COVAX emergency use authorization, paving the way for its use through COVAX, and in less than a month the companies announced they will supply COVAX with 40 million doses in 2021, with first deliveries in Q1.
