Dear Colleagues,
Nuclear physics research needs your help once more.
Over the next several weeks, Washington will start the budget and appropriations process for Fiscal Year 2027. In what is expected to be a very challenging budget year, we are reaching out to the entire nuclear physics community to ask for your advocacy in support of robust federal funding for nuclear physics. Nuclear Physics Day will also be an opportunity to further educate Congress on the future direction of the nuclear physics field as laid out in the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee’s most recent Long Range Plan. Research leaders from the NP User Facilities at Michigan State, Jefferson Lab, Brookhaven National Lab, and others are organizing a day of in-person meetings on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC on Tuesday, April 21st and urgently need your participation.
A background briefing will be provided in advance of the April meetings and our team will oversee the scheduling and organizing the meetings with your representatives in Congress. This opportunity is open to past participants and new members alike – faculty and students. We welcome and encourage everyone’s participation. Stay tuned for additional details and supporting materials.
Please let us know if you can join and support this important federal advocacy effort by registering here: https://forms.gle/TycGJgMNBiX7Pmq59
