Mission & Focus Areas
BIO’s stated mission is to represent its members and advance policies that nurture life-sciences innovation to address challenges in healthcare, agriculture, industry, and the environment. Its stated priorities include advancing the biotechnology innovation ecosystem, addressing barriers to medicine access, focusing on patients and families, and treating biotechnology as a national-security concern.
BIO describes its activities as advocacy and services. Its advocacy includes work on intellectual-property protections, government and academic research investment, healthcare policy, patient access, emerging-company financing and regulation, and agriculture and environmental issues. Its services include conferences and business-development opportunities.
The 2024 grants include contributions to organizations with varied missions. For example, the National Health Council says it provides a united voice for people with chronic diseases and disabilities; Healthcare Ready says it works to strengthen community resilience before, during, and after disasters; and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network says it advocates for evidence-based public policies to reduce the cancer burden. The Bayh-Dole Coalition says it works to preserve the Bayh-Dole Act and promote the benefits of intellectual-property rights. These are the recipients’ descriptions of their missions.
Grantmaking
The filing describes grants as contributions and sponsorships; it also says BIO provides noncash grants in the form of complimentary memberships. These are evaluated annually. BIO states that it relies on recipients’ required qualifications to help assure proper use of contributions and sponsorships, and that personnel sometimes attend events and receive acknowledgments related to the funds.
Among the largest 2024 grants were $195,000 to the Republican Governors Association, $140,000 to the Bayh-Dole Coalition, $130,000 to the Republican State Leadership Committee, $110,000 to the Democratic Governors Association, and $75,000 to the National Health Council. Other recipients included Healthcare Ready ($40,000), ResearchAmerica ($40,000), the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network ($27,500), and the EveryLife Foundation for Rare Diseases ($23,500).
