The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) is a nonprofit scientific and educational organization with over 12,000 members. Founded in 1906, the Society is based in Bethesda, Maryland, on the campus of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. The Society's purpose is to advance the science of biochemistry and molecular biology through publication of scientific and educational journals: the Journal of Biological Chemistry, Molecular & Cellular Proteomics,  and the Journal of Lipid Research, organization of scientific meetings, advocacy for funding of basic research and education, support of science education at all levels, and promoting the diversity of individuals entering the scientific workforce.

The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) was founded in 1961 to bring together the varied facets of cell biology. Now representing more than 11,000 members, the Society's objective is to provide for the exchange of scientific knowledge in the area of cell biology. It does so through the scholarly dissemination of research at its Annual Meeting and in its publications, Molecular Biology of the Cell and Cell Biology Education, and strives to ensure the future of basic scientific research by providing training and development opportunities for students and young investigators, and also by keeping Congress and the American public informed about the importance of biomedical research.

Founded in 1908, the American Society for Clinical Investigation is one of the oldest and most esteemed honor societies of physician-scientists. Membership is by election only, and only researchers who are 45 years of age or younger are eligible for nomination to the Society. Therefore, membership in the ASCI is a recognition of a researcher's significant contributions, at a relatively young age, to the understanding of human disease. The Society counts among its more than 2,800 members many leaders in academic and industrial medicine, and many members also belong to the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine. The ASCI is also proud to have among its membership several winners of the Nobel Prize and the Lasker Award. The ASCI convenes an annual meeting with the Association of American Physicians and is the publisher of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, a top-rated biomedicine journal.

Founded in 1931, the Genetics Society of America (GSA) represents 4,000 scientists and academicians interested in the field of genetics studies. The Society publishes the journal GENETICS, sponsors conferences and meetings, educates students of all ages about genetics and careers in the field, and recognizes outstanding contributions to the field of genetics.

Founded in 1953, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) is a non-profit organization focused on the advancement of biomedical research and science education. HHMI’s flagship program in biomedical research rests on the conviction that scientists of exceptional talent, commitment, and imagination will make fundamental biological discoveries if they receive the resources, time, and freedom to pursue challenging questions. The Institute has approximately 300 investigators based at more than 60 institutions nationwide. Through the freestanding Janelia Farm Research Campus, HHMI scientists are probing fundamental questions best addressed through a collaborative, interdisciplinary culture. HHMI scientists include 12 Nobel Prize Winners and 122 members of the National Academy of Sciences. HHMI also supports highly creative international scientists in key geographical regions and research areas, provides essential funding for physician-scientists early in their careers, and invests in resources that benefit the broader scientific community.

HHMI’s science education program fuses teaching and research, reflecting the Institute's commitment to inspiring and educating a new generation of scientists. HHMI funds initiatives with the power to transform undergraduate and graduate education by engaging students in discovery research. The Institute seeks opportunities to create connections across a continuum of learning that extends from the primary grades through high school and beyond and includes activities to increase diversity in the scientific workforce and promote scientific literacy in society.

The Society for Neuroscience, formed in 1970, is a nonprofit membership organization of more than 33,000 basic scientists and physicians who study the brain and nervous system. The Society's primary goal is to promote the exchange of information among researchers, which it accomplishes through its scholarly publications, such as The Journal of Neuroscience, and by holding an annual meeting each fall. The Society is the world's largest organization of scientists devoted to the study of the brain and is active in the areas of public education and public policy surrounding the field of neuroscience.
