Your Candidates Your Health 2012

2012 is upon us, which means that election season is in full swing. Now is a great time to become familiar with candidates’ thoughts on the role of the federal government in biomedical research. AADR is supporting the Research!America initiative “Your Candidates-Your Health 2012,” which is designed to educated the electorate on candidates -as related to health and research. Candidates for the presidency and Congress are provided a brief questionnaire and their responses are made available online. Responses have already been provided by the campaigns of Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and President Barack Obama. AADR is pleased to join many national and state-based organizations in sponsoring this important project and encourages its members to visit the site regularly to view new responses from candidates.
