Research Ethics in Action Giving Campaign
Stand with PRIM&R in Safeguarding Ethical Scientific Research.
In this time of global upheaval, the U.S. is facing increased politicization, significant public mistrust in science and research, and substantive changes in funding, protections, and processes to conduct and oversee research. These trends are alarming. But together, we can set a path forward to safeguard ethics and advance scientific and medical research.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, PRIM&R has been committed to advancing the highest ethical standards in research. Our community has been experiencing mounting pressures, and we feel them too. Your support is critical now more than ever to sustain and expand our vital work as a thought leader and trusted resource.

How Your Gift Makes a Difference
Policy Briefings
Help us keep the research community informed and empowered.PRIM&R's expert-led Public Policy briefings—free to members—discuss changes in research funding, federal oversight, and regulatory policy. To date, more than 1,500 attendees have unpacked topics such as cuts to the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP), shifting NIH priorities, and emerging oversight challenges. Your donation will help sustain this programming for those working every day to uphold ethical, responsible research.
Communicating with Congress
Restricted funding for research oversight threatens the integrity of
science and the safety of research participants. PRIM&R meets directly with congressional staff and federal agencies to advocate for sustained investment in ethical research. We also equip our members with the tools to raise their voices and advocate for change. With your support, we can expand these efforts.
Visit our public policy resource page to see how we're taking action—and how you can, too.
Safe Haven for Archival Records
As key federal advisory committees are disbanded and public
access to essential resources disappears, PRIM&R is stepping up.
We are preserving and hosting critical educational materials—such
as archived OHRP videos to ensure they remain accessible to the public.
Access OHRP videos here, and join us in protecting the future of ethical research by making a donation today.
