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

Together, with our member organizations that represent a vast array of medical, health and scientific fields, our goals are:

Achieve funding for medical and health research from the public and private sectors at a level warranted by scientific opportunity and supported by public opinion. Better inform the public of the benefits of medical and health research and the institutions that perform research. 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 individual members of the research community on behalf of medical and health research, public health, and science overall.

In an age of misinformation and distrust, many scientists are underutilizing a powerful tool for generating interest in their research findings: creativity. 🖌️🖋️

Our latest blog post highlights the work of Saurja DasGupta, Ph.D., who is actively encouraging scientists to embrace creative pursuits. By leveraging the Public Engagement Content Award he received from Research!America, Saurja is developing "A Science Communicator's Toolkit" to teach graduate students and postdocs how to lean into popular science writing, art, and social media.

The current continuing resolution, which is delaying OMB's proposed rule on federal grantmaking, is set to expire on Dec. 11. That's a date that is inching closer each day. We must keep up the pressure to stop OMB's harmful rule from taking effect. Our latest Weekly Letter provides opportunities for advocates to continue engaging and making a difference.

What does science have in common with the theater? According to Letonia Copeland-Hardin, Ph.D., one of Research!America's distinguished Public Engagement Content Awardees, the answer is building trust with an audience.

Featured in the Chicago Tribune article, "Funny you should ask: Chicago scientist says humor makes for better researchers," Letonia describes drawing upon her experience as a stand-up comic to develop a workshop with other researchers.
