The United States is a global leader in biomedical research, generating therapeutic breakthroughs that advance the health of the nation and the world. The public and private sectors contribute to this advancement by funding biomedical research and development. The current level of investment in pharmaceutical development in the United States, while substantial, does not always yield desired health outcomes or meet the needs of patients. Public and private funders face a myriad of challenges that affect their funding decisions and hinder the ability of the drug development system to prioritize disease burden and unmet need - often leaving critical gaps in available treatment options.
