Research!America

Research!America The Research!America alliance advocates for science, discovery, and innovation to achieve better health for all.

Together, with our member organizations that represent a vast array of medical, health and scientific fields, our goals are:

Achieve funding for medical and health research from the public and private sectors at a level warranted by scientific opportunity and supported by public opinion. Better inform the public of the benefits of medical and health research and the institutions that perform research. Motivate the public to actively support medical and health research and the complementary sciences that make advances possible. Promote and empower a more active public and political life by individual members of the research community on behalf of medical and health research, public health, and science overall.
