Join us in making a difference
The Society shares policy recommendations and concerns with Capitol Hill, the White House, federal agencies, and global policymakers. We identify issues that will impact the profession of endocrinology and patients with endocrine conditions and pursue opportunities to impact relevant policy through our relationships with policymakers and by engaging you, their constituents. Through advocacy campaigns, testimony to Congress, congressional and agency visits, legislative and regulatory comments, and nomination of members to advisory committees, the Society works with our members and coalitions for continual improvement of health policy.
Take action to help us support endocrine research, care, professionals, and patients! Taking action is faster and easier than ever with our how-to guides.
We rely on you to raise your voice, advocate for our policies and priorities, and show our strength as a community that cares about endocrinology.
In advocating for research we send a variety of policy communication including advocacy letters, both our own and as part of coalitions. We also provide testimony and friend of the court briefs. Search these communications below, filterable by type and topic.

Congress has yet to complete the appropriations process for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024, and the clock is ticking on two issues important to endocrinology: funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and funding for the Special Diabetes Program (SDP). We need ALL U.S. members of the Endocrine Society to join our campaign to urge Congress to complete the appropriations process for FY 2024 and protect NIH funding, extend SDP, and provide a funding increase for NIH in FY 2025. All Members of Congress need to hear these messages today.
