On November 11, 2008, Research!America and our partners in this voter education initiative met to review the project and look ahead to the landscape for research advocacy following the election. A podcast of the event is available, as are copies of the slides presented and remarks made.
In 2006, Research!America and the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation established Your Candidates-Your Health to educate voters on their candidates' views on health and research. All 2006 candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate were invited to participate in the 2006 Your Candidates–Your Health voter guide. More than 1,650 candidates for U.S Congress were invited by mail to respond to the 2006 Your Candidates–Your Health questionnaire. The results were presented in an easy-to-use Web site and were searchable by ZIP code, state and name.
