FASEB Advocacy
Make Your Voice Heard
FASEB represents more than 100,000 scientists through collaborative advocacy with constituent societies. Help us amplify the impact of our advocacy efforts by taking action in your home state/community.
Our 2025 Highlights
In a year that challenged the resilience of the biomedical research community, our collective advocacy efforts delivered meaningful accomplishments.
FASEB Capitol Hill Day
Each year, FASEB hosts its Capitol Hill Day. Scientists and advocates representing 20 scientific societies visit Capitol Hill to urge their senators and representatives to provide sustainable and predictable federal funding for scientific research.
Advocacy at Home
You do not need to come to Washington to be an effective advocate! This is an ideal way for constituents to contact their elected officials to share concerns about how actions pending in Congress will affect their state/district. Communicate with your elected officials to urge them to support increased funding for research.
