Make your voice heard by participating in the 2025 AIRI Capitol Hill Advocacy Day! The AIRI Annual Meeting in Washington, DC presents an exciting opportunity for AIRI members to meet with Members of Congress and their staff on Capitol Hill to discuss the importance of independent research institutes and the biomedical research enterprise. Participants will be assigned to a group who will travel together to meetings on Capitol Hill to highlight the important work AIRI members are doing and the urgent need for federal research funding to keep advancing science and innovation for the benefit of society. The AIRI Washington Office will coordinate all the logistics and will provide materials and training to equip participants for this critically important—and fun—opportunity!
