PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Approximately one year after asking researchers to help revitalize the economy by fueling knowledge and innovation, policymakers will be wondering what impact their decisions have made. How has stimulus funding at NIH promoted innovation, science and health? What has the human impact been as a result of research through the stimulus package? Did policymakers make the right decisions?
To help deliver answers directly to legislators, AADR and Research!America will co-host a legislative workshop, Capitol Hill visits, and research advocates awards reception on Tuesday evening, March 2 for all delegates to attend at no charge. Leaders in the advocacy community will attend a Tuesday morning legislative workshop on current issues in research policy (which will take place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center from 9 a.m. to noon), then head to Capitol Hill to meet with their legislators on current research initiatives. Attendees and advocates will then be welcome to attend a 5 p.m. awards reception at the Capitol. Awards will recognize leaders in research advocacy, Congressional champions for oral health and research, and special recognition in the field of dental and craniofacial research.
