Business and Industry

Innovation, the driving force behind progress, demands robust investment and bold action. Now more than ever, it is imperative that industry leaders connect with the full R&D ecosystem to shape the strategies that will propel us forward. 

A trusted nonpartisan voice in Washington, we attract high-level federal officials to our annual programming, routinely hold member-only meetings with key influencers and experts on Capitol Hill and meet individually with members to help support their individual policy and advocacy objectives. As a member of the Research!America alliance, you will help us shape policy and the future of innovation.

As a part of the Research!America alliance, industry members will enjoy:   

  • Partnership on issues critical to the shaping policy that impacts innovation such as the ramifications of enforcing Bayh-Dole legislation, IRA implementation, the alignment of FDA approvals and Medicare coverage, and protecting economic incentives for private sector innovation.  
  • Access to programs like the National Health Research Forum (including programming for early career researchers), Capitol Hill briefings, and members-only discussions that address critical issues that impact the well-being of our nation, the R&D workforce pipeline, our economy, and, most importantly, patients.  
  • The opportunity to join a community of advocates at the annual Advocacy Awards to celebrate individuals and organizations whose unwavering commitment to advocacy for research and innovation has propelled medical and public health progress.  
  • The confidence in knowing that Research!America advocates for policies that favor innovation in all sectors and increased federal funding for medical and health R&D-focused agencies at levels that keep pace with scientific opportunity.
