Collaboration

Shared Challenges Are Better Addressed Together

Biomedical research crosses disciplines, institutions, and state lines. NJABR creates practical ways for members and partner organizations to share expertise, coordinate on emerging issues, and expand access to accurate public information.

NJABR continues to lead efforts to improve communication and foster collaboration with our state and national advocacy partners. NJABR dedicates time and energy to forge strong relationships with our colleagues in other states, as well as with those from the National Association for Biomedical Research, the Foundation for Biomedical Research, Americans for Medical Progress, the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science, and States United for Biomedical Research to drive successful programming and to strengthen the community through collaboration and cooperation. We believe strongly that through collective advocacy, we can best promote and protect research.

How NJABR Collaborates

• Convenes member institutions around legislative, regulatory, legal, communications, and security developments.
• Connects subject-matter experts with policymakers, educators, students and public audiences.
• Co-develops professional programs and shares learning opportunities with peer organizations.
• Coordinates with state, regional and national partners when an issue extends beyond New Jersey.
• Builds relationships across research, animal care, agriculture, education and public engagement.
