Research Takes Cents
Research!America's signature Research Takes Cents messages compare selected American leisure spending to the costs associated with conducting research. Low levels of research funding are not a result of the money not being available - it's just spent elsewhere.
Then-Now-Imagine
Research!America's Then-Now-Imagine messages describe the state of a condition or disease years ago (then), how research has improved the situation (now) and what further research might bring in the future (imagine).
Public Health Toolkit and Related Advertisements
As part of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-funded Prevention Research Institute, Research!America and our partners created a public health advocacy toolkit and a series of print ads highlighting the day-to-day benefits that prevention and public health research delivers to Americans.
These ads, spotlighting chronic diseases and unintentional injuries, emphasize the leadership role that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plays in protecting Americans' health from needless suffering. They are available for download through our toolkit.
Our partners in this initiative include:
- American Public Health Association
- Association of Schools of Public Health
- Association of State and Territorial Health Officials
- National Association of County & City Health Officials
