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. Again\, this meeting will be off-the-record and is open to Research!America alliance members only; please do not share the Zoom link we send you.

SUMMARY:Research!America Alliance Member-Only Meeting on Implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) with Nick Bath and Adam Finkelstein\, Manatt\, Phelps & Phillips
DESCRIPTION:If you are with a Research!America alliance member\, join us on April 30th at noon ET for an off-the-record discussion with Nick Bath and Adam Finkelstein from Manatt\, Phelps & Phillips. We’ve asked Nick and Adam to provide an update on implementation of the Medicare drug price negotiation provisions of the IRA. Regardless of one’s views on these highly charged provisions\, there is no doubt that IRA implementation decisions being made now will bear on the amount and distribution of biomedical R&D investment going forward.  How is HHS establishing the starting point for each price negotiation? What are the most productive ways to weigh in at this point in the process?  What does the future hold for negotiations?  Join us with your questions and insights. \nIf you represent an alliance member organization\, email Jacqueline Lagoy jlagoy@researchamerica.org for the registration link.
