About this Event
A Changing Environment
Federal science policy is evolving rapidly. Through recent Executive Orders and other actions, the U.S. administration is attempting to dramatically alter how research is funded, evaluated, and used. These developments present substantial challenges for researchers and institutions but also opportunities to meet the moment by promoting trust in science and advancing research integrity.
An Engaging Conversation
At a Crossroads will offer constructive insights from guest speakers with front-line, insider perspectives on the dynamic science policy space. Panelists will discuss responses to policy developments from research funders, advocacy organizations, and institutions. Attendees will also be invited to participate via Q&A opportunities throughout the two panels.
