Committee adopts resolution recognizing Biomedical Research Day
Summary
The committee voted to adopt House Resolution 69, which acknowledges a proposed Biomedical Research Day (to be observed the third Thursday in April) and encourages awareness of biomedical research contributions to health and the state’s research ecosystem.
Representative Imani Barnes introduced House Resolution 69 to recognize Biomedical Research Day, proposing observance on the third Thursday in April to raise awareness of biomedical research and its contributions to medical advances.
Barnes, who identified herself as a biomedical researcher at Emory University, described biomedical research as preclinical and translational work spanning biology, genetics and pharmacology that leads to therapies and devices. Supporters called for greater public understanding of researchers’ contributions to the state and local healthcare ecosystem.
Representative Bennett moved to pass the resolution, a second was offered, and the committee approved the resolution by voice vote. The record shows “Aye” with no recorded opposition on the transcript.
The resolution is honorary: it acknowledges a day of recognition and encourages initiatives that promote public understanding of biomedical research; it does not create a program or new spending in the committee record.
