The 2024 National Health Research Forum, a two-day, free event covering today’s top research topics
WHAT:
The 2024 National Health Research Forum on Sept. 17 and 18. With our supporters, Research!America hosts meaningful conversations aimed at capturing the power of research and development to revolutionize health and health care, exploring new and potentially overlooked opportunities and challenges, and confronting current and looming health threats.
The issues and challenges addressed at the Forum are curated by our expert staff, who bring decades of policy, government, and advocacy experience to the process. Discussions will explore issues at the intersection of public policy and medical and scientific progress.
Join us for discussions with top federal officials, research leaders, and media on timely topics such as climate change’s impact on health, clinical trials, artificial intelligence (AI) and drug development, nutrition and health, and navigating comorbidities in mental health.
