SUMMARY:An Alliance Member-Only Conversation with BARDA Director Gary Disbrow
DESCRIPTION:If you are with a Research!America Alliance member organization\, please join us on Wednesday\, October 30 at 12:00 p.m. EDT for an off-the-record conversation with the director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA)\, Dr. Gary Disbrow. As a highly respected leader in the biodefense arena\, we’ve asked Gary to shed  light on the evolving biodefense landscape with a focus on infectious threats. \n\n\nWhat are our nation’s priorities during a period shaped by a pandemic\, punctuated by emerging and reemerging infectious diseases (EIDs)\, and potentially most notable for the success or failure of efforts to contain antimicrobial resistance? How does BARDA balance these priorities with the need for countermeasures against chemical\, radiological\, and nuclear threats\, as well as biological threats outside EIDs?  These questions\, and your questions and insights on these topics\, are important. We hope you can join us. \n\nIf you are with a Research!America alliance member organization\, join this interactive discussion and email Jacqueline Lagoy jlagoy@researchamerica.org for the registration link.

SUMMARY:Reflecting Reality: How to Improve Participant Diversity in Neuroscience Research 
DESCRIPTION:Ancestry-associated genes have an important impact on mental health\, yet only 5% of neuroscience research subjects are from underrepresented populations. This limits the application of research into a variety of diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease. On Friday\, July 19 at 11:00 a.m. ET\, the African Ancestry Neuroscience Research Institute joined us to discuss their work in increasing the diversity of neuroscience research. The organization’s work on the role of genetic ancestry in several neurological diseases has recently been published in Nature Neuroscience. Speakers include: \n\n\nDr. Alvin C. Hathaway\, Sr.\, Co-founder of African Ancestry Neuroscience Research Initiative\, Pastor Emeritus of Union Baptist Church; President/CEO of Beloved Community Services Corporation \n\n\nDaniel Weinberger\, MD\, Director and CEO of the Lieber Institute for Brain Development; Professor of Psychiatry\, Neurology\, Neuroscience\, and Genetic Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine \n\n\nKafui Dzirasa\, MD\, PhD\, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences\, Neurobiology\, Biomedical Engineering\, and Neurosurgery at Duke University; Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute \n\n\nGwenaëlle E. Thomas\, PhD\, Scientific Project Manager at the Lieber Institute for Brain Development (LIBD); Adjunct Professor of Biology at Morgan State University \n\nWatch the Recording \nView the Slides

SUMMARY:Alliance Discussion with Quinn Ritchie\, Legislative Director for Rep. Mike Kelly
DESCRIPTION:Clinical trials are essential to making cutting-edge research available to all Americans\, but participating in these trials can be a financial burden for participants and their families. Earlier this year\, Representatives Mike Kelly (R-PA-16) and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-6) introduced H.R. 7418\, the Harley Jacobsen Clinical Trial Participant Income Exemption Act. The bipartisan bill would exempt clinical trial payments received by participants from taxes to help make clinical trials more accessible to everyone. Quinn Ritchie\, Legislative Director to Representative Kelly\, joined us for a conversation on congressional efforts to increase access to clinical trials and the potential impact of this bill. \nView the Recording
