Ask Your Congressional Representatives to Protect Federal R&D Funding in 2027
The federal commitment to research and development (R&D) funding—the foundation for innovation—is at serious risk. Proposed cuts to 2027 funding would have immediate and long-term consequences for U.S. competitiveness, scientific progress, and economic growth.
Protect the research you conduct, the problems you solve, and the progress you enable. Your voice is one of the most effective tools to prevent these cuts.
Take a few minutes to contact your elected officials and make the case for sustained federal R&D funding. No account creation is required. In less than 5 minutes, you can make a difference. This action is available to all U.S. residents.
