The Council of State Bioscience Associations (CSBA) is a coalition of independent state and territory-based non-profit trade associations, each of which advocates for public policies that support responsible development and delivery of innovative life-sustaining and life-saving biotechnology solutions. Convened by the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), CSBA’s collective voice represents the true grassroots network of innovators, researchers, manufacturers, and accelerators across the country. According to a recent industry report, U.S. bioscience industry employment in 2023 reached 2.3 million jobs in more than 149,000 businesses across every state in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The total economic impact of the bioscience industry on the U.S. economy, as measured by overall output, totaled $3.2 trillion dollars in 2023.
The Council of State Bioscience Associations wrote House and Senate leaders to urge support of H.R. 5539 and S. 3131, the Optimizing Research Progress Hope and New Cures Act.
