A nonpartisan coalition of non-profit, academic, foundation & corporate leaders working to strengthen American science & technology.

A federal government shutdown brings uncertainty for federally funded research and the scientists driving America’s leadership in science and innovation. Learn more about what’s at stake, from @NIH labs to @NSF grants, in @SciAm: scientificamerican.com/article/this-u…


✍️STAC member and former @MIT President L. Rafael Reif writes of President Trump’s compact: “This is an impossible choice that threatens to destroy one of our greatest assets as a nation — our universities and the brilliant people and ideas they attract and nurture.”


Today, @BillNye is on Capitol Hill alongside 300+ advocates fighting a 47% funding cut to @NASA, which would undermine America’s leadership in scientific discovery. Science isn’t optional – it’s essential. 🇺🇸

We've already seen the impacts of failure to support S&T: stalled progress and interruption of scientific careers. In a letter to @TomColeOK04, @SenatorCollins, @rosadelauro, and @PattyMurray, STAC co-chairs urge appropriators to finalize FY26 legislation: sciencetechaction.org/wp-content/upl…

"We must act quickly, together, before we lose the competitive edge that has made America the most innovative and dynamic economy in the world.” @RoKhanna, @sether, + @editoremacb call upon policymakers to protect the future of U.S. innovation. @latimes: latimes.com/opinion/story/…


The @GoldGooseAward honors federally funded research that may sound obscure but yields breakthroughs with immense benefits for our nation. The 2025 awardees prove that federal funding for fundamental research can transform the lives of countless Americans.

“These discoveries show that American science is anything but stagnant. AAAS and the American people will continue to support federal investment in research that can make us healthier, safer, and stronger.” — AAAS CEO @sudipsparikh Read more: aaas.org/news/golden-go…

“Because universities are not the sole nor even the most significant beneficiaries of the scientific research they conduct, they should not be alone in trying to save their R&D operations.” STAC member Rafael Reif shares a state-based solution for continuing investment in R&D.

There’s a way to respond to Donald Trump’s brutal and reckless funding cutbacks—and it doesn’t need Washington’s permission, L. Rafael Reif argues. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
