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.

With Congress back in Washington, work has restarted on the nine remaining FY26 spending bills. However, with the Thanksgiving recess, no action is expected before December.

In partnership with more than 30 scientific and clinical societies and foundations, Research!America has launched Americans for Medical Research. This public awareness campaign focuses on the value of U.S. investment in medical and health research.

Over the last century, federal funding for research has played a pivotal role in helping to improve the early detection and treatment of serious diseases like breast cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and so much more. Americans are counting on that continued progress to help their loved ones live longer, healthier lives.

We must continue support for medical research.

After the longest shutdown in U.S. history, the federal government has finally reopened.

The president signed a continuing resolution (CR) with a smaller package (a “minibus”) of three full-year spending bills, including Agriculture-FDA, Military Construction-Veterans Affairs, and the Legislative Branch.

The CR sets a Jan. 30 deadline for Congress to complete the remaining nine annual appropriations bills. Read Mary Woolley's Weekly Letter for key details on the CR and more.

As the government shutdown ends with a new Jan. 30 deadline for nine of the 12 annual federal appropriations bills for FY26, we urge Congress to complete the appropriations process as soon as possible. Based on the more than three decades of national public opinion surveys that we've commissioned, we know Americans want our nation to set the pace for medical and health progress; not block our own path.
