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. 

The Research!America alliance stands at the forefront of this endeavor through our congressional advocacy, regulatory monitoring, and convening authority. Innovation thrives on collaboration, where industry engagement, the patient voice, and federal investment intersect. 

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, Capitol Hill briefings, our Early Career Summitt, 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.
