Benefits of Research and Bridging the Sciences

Investment in Research Saves Lives and Money

To illustrate the social and economic impact of medical and health research, we established the Investment in Research Saves Lives and Money series in partnership with the Mary Woodard Lasker Charitable Trust. Each page focuses on one or a set of conditions or health topics and includes current statistics, examples of cost- and life-saving benefits of research and the story of a patient who has thrived or survived thanks to research.
