FasterCures has long been at the forefront of shaping the national focus on biomedical innovation, with a singular goal of saving lives by accelerating scientific advances for all patients. FasterCures has been instrumental in advocating for policies that remove barriers that slow down access to groundbreaking therapies for patients who need them.

This report is the culmination of our expertise as advocates and conveners in cultivating fertile ground for biomedical innovation, shaped by our research, projects, and the subject-matter experts from our network of stakeholders in policy arenas. We strive to support the new administration in preparing our country to address emerging health challenges and prioritize strategic policy focus areas relevant to biomedical research and health-care innovation fit for a new generation.

The recommendations are organized to address five subjects:

1. Developing infrastructures for community-based clinical research and trials

2. Supporting innovative research programs that drive biomedical advancements

3. Enhancing communication between the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for streamlined approval and access pathways

4. Promoting scientific and systemic patient engagement throughout the medical product lifecycle

5.  Shifting to prevention-first health care
