Thank you to Sen. Jerry Moran, @vanhollen.senate.gov Rep. Hal Rogers, and @meng.house.gov for laying the groundwork for final passage of the FY26 CJS bill. Cuts to NASA and NSF were limited, and we look forward to working with you on more robust research investments that safeguard U.S. leadership.

Last week, a bipartisan group of leaders from across the U.S. joined us to meet the crucial moment we are in. As STAC Co-Chair Sudip Parikh said, "Let's make sure that this appropriations cycle sees funding for science in FY26 that matches the challenge that the world has put in front of us.”

ICYMI: Last week STAC leaders Sudip Parikh + Sue Ellspermann teamed up with Central Indiana Corporate Partnership + Ivy Tech to push for bold investments in community and technical pathways to STEM careers. The future of U.S. innovation depends on our ability to empower and expand our S&T workforce.

"20 years from now, what is the language of science going to be?” – STAC Co-Chair @sudipsparikh Our competitors are taking advantage of these self-inflicted wounds. This brain drain will set us back for decades and cede our global S&T leadership. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/b...

“The National Science Foundation is an extraordinary funding agency in that it funds basic research.” - @sudipsparikh. On Saturday, @NSF celebrated 75 years. NSF is crucial to America’s ability to compete on the global stage and has driven discovery for decades. #NSF75 #NSFfunded

America’s research enterprise has massive return on investment, as @PattyMurray notes. While there are inefficiencies to address, across-the-board budget cuts won't solve them. #VAST provides a strategic, measured approach to fortifying our S&T ecosystem: www.vastfuture.org/avenue-1

“For more than 75 years, the United States has been the world leader in scientific research and technological innovation.” Thank you Senator Collins for convening a hearing about the dangers of losing our global leadership due to catastrophic cuts to critical research funding.

Rumored cuts to research budgets will mean “we are no longer in the race with China on biomedical research. We will have lost that race,” STAC Co-Chair Sudip Parikh warned the Senate Committee on Appropriations.

Last week before the House Oversight Committee, frmr FDA Commissioner @davidakesslermd.bsky.social reinforced the need to supercharge the U.S. S&T enterprise – or risk losing our competitive edge. #VAST provides a gameplan to ensure the U.S. isn’t permanently relegated to a follower.

Thanks to @markwarner.bsky.social for speaking out: “Chinese intelligence agencies are posting on social media sites [to lure] individuals with national security clearance who have been pushed out.” #VAST’s recs will safeguard our S&T enterprise & retain talent: www.vastfuture.org/avenue-2
