Welcome
Welcome to the home of the Advisory Committee for the
Congressional Research and Development [R&D] Caucus.
The
Advisory Committee is comprised of public interest
and private sector organizations from the science,
engineering, technology and educational sectors
dedicated to informing Congress and the public on
important national and global issues regarding research
and development affecting the United States.
Through its participating organizations and this
website, the Advisory Committee supports the
Congressional R&D Caucus and its efforts.
The Congressional R&D Caucus
briefings highlight the importance
of research and development, and
illuminate the interdependency of
research efforts across disciplines
to our nation’s future. The Caucus
informs Members of Congress and
their staff about the various
benefits of investment in research
and development, including economic,
educational, and innovative
benefits.
In that vein, applicants for an R &
D Caucus event are asked to consider
the goal of informing Members of
Congress and their staff of the
benefits of R & D investment and to
connect the briefing to the issues
and policies that are currently
being discussed on Capitol Hill.
There are various web sites which
can inform you on the issues before
Congress, such as
www.house.gov, or contact the
government liaison or governmental
affairs office of the sponsoring
society for assistance. One of the
most important aspects of a
successful briefing is to have an
engaging, informed speaker who
creates an atmosphere of open
exchange through their skilled
public speaking.
Organizations interested in
convening a congressional briefing
for the Caucus should review the
Congressional Briefing Guidelines
and fill out the attached
briefing application [Word Version] and send it
to Kathryn Holmes at
holmesk@asme.org. The
attached
planning schedule is included to
give your organization a timeline
for scheduling events associated
with your briefing.
If your organization is interested
in participating on the R&D Caucus
Advisory Committee, please contact
Deborah Rudolph at
d.rudolph@ieee.org.
