ASCB Virginia Virtual Capitol Hill Day

For decades, ASCB members have stepped up to make sure Congress hears directly from the scientists powering discovery in their states. Our Capitol Hill Days have helped lawmakers understand a simple truth: federal investment in biomedical research fuels innovation, strengthens local economies, and changes patients’ lives.

Now it’s easier than ever to be part of that impact.

With Virtual Hill Days, you don’t have to travel to Washington to make a difference. From your lab, office, or campus, you can meet directly with your Members of Congress and their staff to share your story, explain why federal research funding matters, and show how policy decisions affect science in real time.

Your voice carries weight. Lawmakers want to hear from their own constituents who are driving breakthroughs, training the next generation, and advancing solutions to urgent health challenges. Whether you’ve advocated before or this is your first time, ASCB will equip you with the training, materials, and support you need to be confident and effective.

Science needs champions. Join the Virginia Virtual Hill Day—and make sure Congress hears from the people who make discovery possible.
