Send your U.S. representative and senators a message using SfN’s Advocacy Action Center and personalize it by stating why inadequate research funding and a government shutdown would be detrimental to your own work as a neuroscientist. It is essential Congress demonstrates its commitment to scientific research and discovery by providing the highest possible funding levels for federal science agencies and programs in FY 2024. We urge you to reach out to your legislators now, as Congress has until September 30 to pass a continuing resolution and avoid a government shutdown which would have harmful effects on research agencies and programs. Join fellow NeuroAdvocates in urging Congress to protect neuroscience research funding and avoid a government shutdown.
