Funding Life/Health Sciences Research in Spokane County
Health Sciences and Services Authority (HSSA) of Spokane County was established in 2007 to provide funds to the life and health sciences research industry. These funds are used by researchers to help discover and advance new ways to combat diseases and promote public health in Spokane.
Since being established, HSSA has focused on two strategic initiatives: increase local health sciences research and the infrastructure that supports it and increase access to care services in Spokane County for at risk populations. These initiatives have helped create a over 500 jobs and $100 million in total economic activity including over $35 million in extramural grant funding to Spokane.
Research shows that the Life Sciences sector has the greatest economic growth potential for our region - with estimates of an annual impact of up to 9% increase in GDP and more than 9,000 high wage jobs by 2030.
