While COVID-19 related-research is now in overdrive, most other research has been slowed down or stopped due to pandemic-induced closures of campuses and laboratories. We are deeply concerned that the people who comprise the research workforce – graduate students, postdocs, principal investigators, and technical support staff – are at risk. While Federal rules have allowed researchers to continue to receive their salaries from federal grant funding, their work has been stopped due to shuttered laboratories and facilities and many researchers are currently unable to make progress on their grants. Additionally, researchers will need supplemental funding to support an additional four months’ salary, as many campuses will remain shuttered until the fall, at the earliest. Many core research facilities – typically funded by user fees – sit idle. Still, others have incurred significant costs for shutting down their labs, donating the personal protective equipment (PPE) to frontline health care workers, and cancelling planned experiments. Congress must act to preserve our current scientific workforce and ensure that the U.S.

We commend your bipartisan work to reintroduce legislation supporting investments in our country’s research and development (R&D) enterprise during this time of continued uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For nearly six decades, CGS has served as the national organization dedicated to advancing graduate education and research. Our membership includes nearly 500 institutions of higher education in the United States, Canada, and abroad. Collectively, our members grant 87 percent of all U.S. doctorates and the majority of U.S. master’s degrees. This legislation invests in the graduate students, postdocs, and principal investigators who are conducting scientific discoveries that touch the lives of Americans daily.

Six years of funding will allow families the comfort of knowing that their children will get the health care they need and will allow state governments to plan for health care costs and manage their budget needs wisely. Our broad and diverse coalition represents of child health advocates, family doctors, pediatricians, community clinics, large and small hospitals and many others who have seen first-hand that CHIP, or CHP+ as Colorado’s program is called, has made a genuine impact on tens of thousands of Colorado kids and their families as well as the pregnant women the program serves. Across its nearly 20-year history, CHIP has enjoyed bipartisan support because it increases health insurance coverage for children and helps working families while resembling a private insurance plan through membership fees and co-pays. Even in our current, deeply divisive political environment, there is no reason CHIP should not continue to enjoy this kind of support.

    May 27, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker Republican Leader United States House of Representatives United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: We write to respectfully urge you to quickly replenish the Restaurants Revitalization Fund (RRF) program to appropriate funding levels to meet current demand. On May 26th Administrator Isabel Guzman of the Small Business Administration (SBA) appeared in a full House Small Business Committee hearing. She testified that as of May 24th, the date the RRF program application portal closed, the RRF had received more than 362,000 applications – with a total of $75 billion in funding requested. As of May 18th, the SBA reported that so far nearly 38,000 applicants have been approved for more than $6 billion. We commend the prior work of the House to make the RRF program a reality with an allocation of $28.6 billion. However, this program is in extremely high-demand and at current funding levels the SBA will not be able to assist a large portion of the applicants. We urge you to work together with House Small Business Committee leadership and the SBA to bring a bill to the floor that would allocate funds so every eligible applicant can receive assistance. Our economy is still emerging from the immense damage of the COVID-19 crisis and our hardest hit small businesses, such as restaurants, bars, and food trucks, are still navigating the impacts of over a year of lockdown orders and limits to capacity among other health requirements.

As elected officials, we seek to ensure that all people have access to comprehensive and accurate health care information and services. Unfortunately, this rule is the latest example of the Trump administration’s relentless efforts to undermine the health and human rights of those across the world and attack sexual and reproductive health and rights for women, girls, LGBTQI+ individuals, and other vulnerable groups. It is especially egregious during a global pandemic. The global gag rule (also known as the Mexico City Policy or Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance) has been a political flashpoint constraining the sexual and reproductive rights of individuals across the globe since 1984.
