At a time when the return on all investment is scrutinized and funding from both the public and private sectors is in short supply, research to improve health has never seen greater challenges—and yet has never had a stronger story to tell. The returns on America’s investment in research continue to contribute to our economic growth and leadership far beyond the value of the investment itself. We see the dividends in longer, healthier lives; in greater prosperity through the creation of well-paying, knowledge-based jobs; in productivity gains from a healthier work- M.
