Alexandria, Va., USA – It has become increasingly imperative for the American Association for Dental Research (AADR) and its members to stress to Capitol Hill the importance of biomedical research funding, given the significant cuts facing the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other agencies in FY13. AADR has assembled a program that will provide attendees with a brief overview of the funding and political landscape in Washington, DC, as well as an afternoon of meetings with elected officials and congressional staff. More than 65 congressional offices will be visited, representing 17 states. |
