Ask Your Members of Congress to Cosponsor the RISE Act
On February 27, 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the latest COVID-19 relief package—the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (H.R. 1319). The package includes $600 million for the National Science Foundation and $150 million for the National Institute of Standards and Technology, but it does not include research relief provisions at the levels requested by the scientific community.
