The American Academy of Microbiology (Academy) is the honorific leadership group within the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), the world's oldest and largest life science organization. The mission of the Academy is to recognize scientists for outstanding contributions to microbiology and provide microbiological expertise in the service of science and the public.

The AAAS seeks to "advance science, engineering, and innovation throughout the world for the benefit of all people by seeking to fulfill several broad goals.

The AAI is an association of professionally trained scientists from all over the world dedicated to advancing the knowledge of immunology and its related disciplines, fostering the interchange of ideas and information among investigators, and addressing the potential integration of immunologic principles into clinical practice.

The AIBS is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) scientific association dedicated to advancing biological research and education for the welfare of society. AIBS works to ensure that the public, legislators, funders, and the community of biologists have access to and use information that will guide them in making informed decisions about matters that require biological knowledge.

The AMA is the largest association in the U.S. of physicists including MDs, DOs, and medical students. Improving the health of the nation is at the core of the AMA's work to enhance the delivery of care and enable physicians and health teams to partner with patients to achieve better health for all.

The American Physiological Society (APS) is a nonprofit devoted to fostering education, scientific research, and dissemination of information in the physiological sciences. Staring with 28 members in 1887, the society now has over 10,500 members.

The ASBMB is a nonprofit scientific and educational organization with over 12,000 members. The Society's mission is to advance the science of biochemistry and molecular biology through publication of scientific and educational journals, 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.

ASCB is an inclusive, international community of biologists studying the cell, the fundamental unit of life. We are dedicated to advancing scientific discovery, advocating sound research policies, improving education, promoting professional development, and increasing diversity in the scientific workforce.

The ASN maintains its position as one of the world's premier peer-reviewed publications in ecology, evolution, and behavior research. Its goals are to publish articles that are of broad interest to the readership, pose new and significant problems, introduce novel subjects, develop conceptual unification, and change the way people think.

ASPB is a professional society devoted to the advancement of the plant sciences. It publishes two world-class journals and organizes conferences, and other activities that are key to the advancement of the science.

The aims of the AAB are to promote the study and advancement of all branches of Biology and in particular foster the practice, growth and development of applied biology. The Society regularly publishes research and holds conferences in different specialisms of applied biology

ESA is a professional organization of ecological scientists. Based in the United States, ESA publishes a suite of publications, from peer-reviewed journals to newsletters, fact sheets, teaching resources, and holds an annual meeting to improve communication among ecologists.

GSA founded in 1931, is the professional membership organization for scientific researchers and educators in the field of genetics. Our members work to advance knowledge in the basic mechanisms of inheritance, from the molecular to the population level.

The NAS are the nation's pre-eminent source of high-quality, objective advice on science, engineering, and health matters. Most of the Society's work is conducted through several major programs.

The National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT) is the “leader in life science education.” Since its inception in 1938, thousands of educators have joined NABT to share experiences and expertise with colleagues from around the world, keep up with trends and developments in the field, and grow professionally.

The NSF is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense…" With an annual budget of $7.5 billion (FY 2016), the NSF is the funding source for approximately 24 percent of all federally supported basic research conducted by America's colleges and universities.

The NSTA is an association of science teachers in the United States and is the largest organization of science teachers worldwide with more than 57,000 members. Its mission is to "to promote excellence and innovation in science teaching and learning for all."
