Research Policy & Advocacy

Improving policies that affect endocrine scientists and their research.

The Endocrine Society works with the federal government, research funding agencies, and regulatory bodies to advance progress in biomedical research and to ensure the latest findings from endocrine scientists are incorporated into research strategic plans. Our goals aim to ensure that the full body of research available is available to policymakers and that the research will affect positive change by advocating for increased research and updated regulatory processes. Research advocacy efforts include biomedical research funding, stem cell research, central IRBs, and clinical trial registries. Read our position statementsOur advocacy comes in the form of various policy communications, including advocacy letters, both our own and as part of coalitions. We also provide testimony and friend-of-the-court briefs. All communications can be found on our Advocacy page or below.
