Improving policies that affect endocrine scientists and the conduct of research
Endocrine researchers study complex biological systems and hormonal pathways that affect all parts of the human body with implications for numerous diseases and conditions. The Endocrine Society works with the federal government, research funding agencies, and regulatory bodies to advance progress in biomedical research and the ensure that the latest findings from endocrine scientists are incorporated into research strategic plans.
At the Endocrine Society, we are concerned about a number of critical policy issues. Our goals are to ensure that the full body of research available is available to policy makers and to affect positive change by advocating for increased research and updated regulatory processes. Our position statements include advocating for biomedical research funding, our position on stem cell research, central IRBs, and clinical trial registries. To learn and read about all of our position statements, please visit our page here.

In advocating for research we send a variety of policy communication including advocacy letters, both our own and as part of coalitions. We also provide testimony and friend of the court briefs. All of these communications can be found on our Advocacy page or below.
Join us in lending your voice to our online advocacy to support our policy priorities, endocrinology, and science. Contact your U.S representatives or European Members of Parliament through our online platform. Take action and make a difference today.
"My love for endocrinology only becomes stronger; I start each endocrine course that I teach by telling the students that whether they realize it, they will have an endocrine response to my lectures (love, hate, boredom, nausea)."
Getting published can be a challenging journey. Andrea Gore, Ph.D., from the University of Texas at Austin talks about what makes for a well-written scientific paper and about the peer review process: what to expect and how to understand the feedback from editors.
