The SSE Public Policy Committee invites SSE members to apply for funds to attend the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) 2025 Congressional Visits Day [2]. The event will take place in Washington, DC and includes a free half-day training session on April 29 and meetings with lawmakers on April 30. There is also the option to also attend the Communications Boot Camp for Scientists on April 28-29. 

SSE members at all career stages who are interested in communicating the importance of federal investments in scientific research and education to lawmakers are encouraged to apply. Funding can be used to cover the cost of the Communications Boot Camp and contribute toward travel and lodging. 

SSE members interested in using these funds for other advocacy opportunities are also welcome to apply. Email policy@evolutionsociety.org for more information.
