Urge Congress to Raise the Caps for Science and Innovation

Congress is considering a deal to raise the budget caps for FY18 and FY19 for both defense and non-defense discretionary spending. Join Research!America and partners across the broad science community to urge Congress to pass a deal that raises the budget caps to help advance our nation’s research priorities.

• Budget cuts hurt our national priorities, inhibiting #innovation & delaying the #discoveries of today & tomorrow. #RaiseTheCaps.
• @NSF, @NIH, @NASA ‏& others keep the US @ the forefront of discovery & innovation but can’t do so w/o robust funding. #RaiseTheCaps
• Budget cuts hurt our ability to remain the scientific world leader. #RaiseTheCaps
