Advocacy Tools for 111th Congress
Wondering where newly elected Members of Congress stand on research issues? Check out FASEB’s new online guide to the 111th Congress. The website compiles a wealth of resources with information about the more than sixty freshman Members of Congress, including their statements and positions on issues such as federal funding for science, stem cell research, regulatory issues and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education, as well as the amount of federal research money that flows into their state or district. The online guide also includes links to:
- FASEB’s Washington Update, the Office of Public Affairs’ biweekly newsletter.
- Up to date budget and appropriations information.
- A legislative action center to facilitate contacting Members of Congress on pending issues that affect research.
- Information about relevant Congressional committees, as well as Congressional calendars and scheduled hearings.
