Make a Difference
The Endocrine Society shares policy recommendations and concerns with Capitol Hill, the White House, federal agencies, and global policymakers. We identify issues that will impact the profession of endocrinology and patients with endocrine conditions and pursue opportunities to impact relevant policy through our relationships with policymakers and by engaging you, their constituents.
Through advocacy campaigns, testimony to Congress, congressional and agency visits, legislative and regulatory comments, and nomination of members to advisory committees, the Society works with our members and coalitions for continual improvement of health policy.
On September 26, the House of Representatives successfully passed the Labor-HHS appropriations bill with a $2 billion increase in FY 2019 for the National Institutes of Health.
Please join the Endocrine Society in thanking your members of Congress for funding medical research and making funding for the NIH a national priority.
