As present and former leaders in science and technology across the federal government and private sector (industry and academe), we recognize the critical importance of sustained federal investment in research and innovation.
We invite you to add your name to a letter urging the U.S. Congress to oppose budget cuts to federal research agencies in the FY26 Presidential Budget. The signed-letter will be shared with members of Congress, accompanied by brief comments from signatories who choose to share their perspective.
If you’d like to include a brief statement or testimonial about the value of fundamental research in the Science and Technology efforts you managed, we will welcome your voice, as it will help emphasize the urgency of protecting the nation’s R&D infrastructure. Providing a comment is entirely optional.
Your experience and signature can help make the case for safeguarding America’s future through science.
If you think there are others that can join this advocacy effort, please feel free to forward this invitation for their participation.
