The Infectious Diseases Society of America is presenting its “2023 Legislative Impact Awards” to a bipartisan group of U.S. senators and representatives who have successfully led the passage of a new law or secured increased federal resources to address top IDSA priorities, including supporting the ID/HIV workforce and combating antimicrobial resistance.
