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.

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.

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

SUMMARY:Alliance Members Only NIH Meeting
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, June 14\, Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA)\, who chairs the House Energy & Commerce Committee\, released a report and framework recommending significant changes in the structure and operations of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).  Her press release on the framework links to a commentary in STAT she and Labor-HHS Appropriations Chair Robert Aderholt (R-AL) authored that sets the stage for the reform framework. \nIt is important to recognize that the patient and research community’s response to these developments\, including our willingness to engage\, the approach we take\, and the nature and scope of the input we provide\, could bear significantly on NIH funding in FY25 and NIH overall going forward.  \nIf… \n\n1) You are with an organization that is a current Research!America alliance member;\nor\n2) Your organization has connected with Kristen from our team to join (your timing could not be better!) \n\nWe invite you to be part of an off-the-record\, pop-up alliance member-only Zoom meeting on Monday\, June 24 at Noon ET to discuss these developments. The stakeholder-informed NIH report Senate HELP Committee Ranking Member Bill Cassidy (R-LA) issued will also be important to this conversation. \nEmail Jacqueline Lagoy jlagoy@researchamerica.org or drop your info here and we’ll send you a calendar invite with a Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Alliance Discussion: Finding New Hope in Existing Drugs: a conversation with ARPA-H Project Awardee Dr. David Fajgenbaum\, Co-Founder & President of Every Cure
DESCRIPTION:Globally\, there are millions of people diagnosed with diseases that have no available or approved treatments. Drug repurposing or using an approved drug as a new treatment for another disease has been an effective\, but underutilized tool in therapeutic discovery. In February 2024\, Every Cure received an ARPA-H Project Award to develop an AI-powered platform\, called ML/AI-enabled Therapeutic Repurposing In eXtended uses (MATRIX). Co-Founder & President of Every Cure\, Dr. David Fajgenbaum\, joined us to share how he repurposed an existing drug to save his life and now is on a mission to unlock treatments for millions more using the power of AI. \nWatch the recording \nView the slides
