Established in 2007, Your Congress-Your Health is the only constituent education initiative of its kind. Research!America and our partners launched the initiative because health is a domestic priority, impacting the economy and the lives of each and every American. It is essential for constituents to know where their representatives and senators stand on such an important issue.
In 2008, Research!America and our partners launched Your Candidates-Your Health 2008 asking presidential and congressional candidates to share their views on health and research. Research!America and the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation established the voter education initiative in 2006.
