Make the Case for Scientific Progress
The 117th Congress has yet to pass a final appropriations package for FY23, meaning that federal agencies and programs are operating with flat funding, in a state of limbo. The continuing resolution (CR) that extended FY23 funding expires on 12/16/2022, and now is the time to make the case for completing the FY23 appropriations process before deadline and with robust research funding increases. Use this editable email to ask for a meeting with the right staffer in each of your congressional representatives’ offices, so you can make the case “in person.” (Zoom, Teams, phone…whatever works for you and them!).
