Policy & Advocacy

“We think this election bodes well for research. We just have to make sure that it stays an important priority,” says Russ Paulsen, CEO of Research!America, a GSA policy partner.

The long-term impact of the “Science: A New Golden Age” initiative will depend on sustained funding, implementation, access to computing and research infrastructure, and the extent to which investments complement fundamental, investigator-initiated research.

A series of recent immigration policy changes and proposals could make it harder for international scientists to train, work, and build careers in the United States.

FASEB, of which GSA is a member, co-signed a letter to Congressional leaders to urge them to finalize Fiscal Year 2027 appropriations for the NIH as expeditiously as possible.

Research!America and collaborating organizations are compiling submissions into a resource for Members of Congress and the advocacy community so they can see the cumulative impact of these changes rather than each one in isolation.

FASEB, a GSA policy partner, will participate in multiple events this month to bring examples of federally funded science directly to Capitol Hill and demonstrate the role sustained research investment plays in scientific discovery

GSA members are welcome to attend this free webinar from our policy partner, Research!America. Participants will discuss issues ranging from training-grant funding to changes in educational policy.

Research!America, a GSA advocacy partner, released a statement welcoming the delay to a proposed OMB rule, stating that the rule "would undermine key priorities of the American people: safety, security, prosperity, and progress."
