SUMMARY:Alliance Member-Only Meeting with Adrienne Hallett\, Director of the Coalition for Life Sciences
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, August 19 at 12:00 p.m. ET\, we hosted an alliance member-only discussion on the new Executive Order (EO) “Improving Oversight of Federal Grantmaking\,” signed on August 7 by President Trump. This EO makes sweeping changes to how federal agencies review\, approve\, and manage competitively awarded grants.

To unpack what these shifts could mean for NIH funding\, the broader research ecosystem\, and the patients who depend on progress\, we heard from Adrienne Hallett\, Executive Director of the Coalition for Life Sciences and longtime NIH and Labor-HHS appropriations expert. Bring your questions and insights\, you won’t want to miss this important conversation!  \nThis meeting was not open to the press or organizations outside the Research!America alliance.

SUMMARY:Alliance Member-Only Meeting: … More Rescissions?
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, August 5\, at noon ET we hosted a Research!America Alliance member-only meeting via Zoom. We covered two timely topics: the possibility of another rescissions package that could send FY25 funding\, including federal research dollars\, back to the treasury\, and opportunities for effective advocacy during the August congressional recess. We were joined by special guest Lindsay Garcia of KDCR Partners\, who shared insights into the evolving policy landscape and what to watch for in the weeks ahead. \nThis meeting was not open to the press or organizations outside the Research!America alliance.

SUMMARY:Alliance Discussion with Dr. Kathryn Hall\,  Senior Vice President for Research at the New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM)
DESCRIPTION:The placebo is a critical component of clinical trials\, allowing researchers to determine whether a treatment is truly effective. Yet\, the placebo effect remains a fascinating and widely discussed phenomenon\, both within and beyond medical contexts. On Tuesday\, April 29\, at 12:00 p.m. ET we had an engaging discussion with Dr. Kathryn Hall\, Senior Vice President for Research at the New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM). Dr. Hall‘s research focuses on the placebo effect\, as well as how the absence of placebo and the presence of nocebo effects impact health equity. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the implications of this complex phenomenon. \nWatch the recording \nView the slides
