Economic Benefits

Papers , Speeches and Reports

On this page you will find information on the many economic benefits biomedical research brings about, not only in the nation as a whole, but also in the local communities where the research is conducted. These include tangible benefits like jobs and improved health, and also less tangible benefits. Read some of the selections here to learn about some of the less obvious benefits.

Under selected reading you can read longer background documents that provide lots of useful information to help you prepare as you begin to advocate for biomedical research.

Check back from time to time as new material will be regularly added.
