SUMMARY:Alliance Member-Only Meeting with Adrienne Hallett\, Director of the Coalition for Life Sciences
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, August 19 at 12:00 p.m. ET\, we hosted an alliance member-only discussion on the new Executive Order (EO) “Improving Oversight of Federal Grantmaking\,” signed on August 7 by President Trump. This EO makes sweeping changes to how federal agencies review\, approve\, and manage competitively awarded grants.

To unpack what these shifts could mean for NIH funding\, the broader research ecosystem\, and the patients who depend on progress\, we heard from Adrienne Hallett\, Executive Director of the Coalition for Life Sciences and longtime NIH and Labor-HHS appropriations expert. Bring your questions and insights\, you won’t want to miss this important conversation!  \nThis meeting was not open to the press or organizations outside the Research!America alliance.
