About the Organization:

Research!America's mission is to make medical and health research a much higher national priority.

Research!America is a national not-for-profit, membership-supported, public education and advocacy alliance. It was founded in 1989.

Goals:
Achieve funding for medical and health research in both public and private sectors at a level warranted by scientific opportunity and supported by public opinion.
Research Makes Cents!
More than $3 billion was spent by candidates running for office in the 2000 elections. That sum would fund the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke for two and a half years!!!

Motivate the public to actively support medical and health research and the complementary sciences that make advances possible.
Promote and empower a more active public and political life by the individual members of the research community on behalf of medical and health research, public health, and science overall.
