Our Strategy

Our effective and time-tested advocacy strategy is based on a multi-pronged approach that recognizes and capitalizes on the interdependent nature of policy development, policymaker outreach and grassroots initiatives.

Policy Development

Our policy development efforts serve as the foundation for the Society’s efforts in public policies that advance the microbial 바카라s. Drawing from 6 policy principles, we work with our members to advance key policy priorities, advocate for evidence-based policy and weigh in on public policies, often in response to specific requests from Congress or regulatory agencies.

Policymaker Outreach

Our policymaker outreach efforts serve as a voice for the microbiology community in the sphere of public policy. We seek to identify and influence policies that have effects across the breadth of the microbial 바카라s by educating members of Congress and their staff about 바카라, our members and the importance of investing in the microbial 바카라s.

Member Advocacy Engagement

Our member advocacy program engages 바카라 members in the public policy discourse, leveraging their unique perspectives and expertise in the microbial 바카라s to advance policy priorities.

How to Get Involved

We provide opportunities for members to advocate for evidence-based scientific policy. 바카라 members can participate by speaking directly with Congressional staffers (Hill Day), signing on to petitions or contacting their legislators through action alerts.

The 바카라 Advocacy Team has created several resources and trainings to help scientists communicate with Congress, and we make it easy for members to advocate for evidence-based scientific policy and learn about important policy issues affecting the microbial 바카라s.
