We rely on your voice to advocate for our policy priorities. Join us to show our strength as a community that cares about endocrinology. Throughout the year, you will have the opportunity to participate in campaigns that support endocrinology research, care, professionals, and patients.

Taking action by sending messages to your Congressional delegation makes a difference, and our online campaigns make it easy to do. Don't take it from us, hear from Rosa DeLauro, Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee, why your voice matters.
We need Congress to protect funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for Fiscal Year 2026. This will affect all researchers who receive grant funding from NIH and all clinicians whose patients seek clinical trials funded by NIH. The Congress must complete funding decisions by October 1 or risk a government shutdown. Now is the time to contact all Representatives and Senators to advocate for research funding.
Since January, there have been multiple actions to cut federal funding of research including attempts to freeze all grants and limit indirect costs for NIH grants to 15%. These efforts have caused major harm to institution budgets, jeopardized lifesaving medical research, caused layoffs, suspended clinical trials, and disrupted ongoing research and laboratory support programs. While federal judges have blocked these actions at least temporarily, we are concerned there will be further efforts to cut federal funding of research. Endocrine Society members are encouraged to join our campaign to share with your US Representative and Senators how cutting federal funding for your research would impact your work.
