Mission, Vision, & Values

Our Mission

The Research!America alliance advocates for science, discovery, and innovation to achieve better health for all. 

We raise awareness about the multi-faceted, multi-generational, impact of fast-paced medical and public health progress. We make the case for funding growth at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). We are also committed to advocating for a legislative and regulatory climate in which U.S.-driven, public and private sector-fueled R&D continues to set the global pace for defeating deadly and debilitating health threats.
