The ASBMR is pleased to partner with the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) to offer the Congressional Visit Toolbox, an online resource aimed at empowering, training, and equipping scientists to build relationships with their elected representatives in Congress. The Toolbox contains everything needed to plan and conduct a Congressional visit, including templates for meeting requests and follow-up letters, printable, state-specific “leave-behind” materials, and customizable talking points on the importance of biomedical research. Training materials, such as a slideshow tutorial on advocacy and a video of Congressional visit role-plays, are also linked to the site.
