FASEB organizes academic conferences and publishes scientific literature, including the FASEB Journal.

- The Endocrine Society
- The American Society of Human Genetics
- Society for Gynecologic Investigation
- Environmental Mutagen Society

Its mission statement is "to advance biological science through collaborative advocacy for research policies that promote scientific progress and education and lead to improvements in human health".[1]
