During August, members of Congress leave Washington to work in their states and districts. Many hold town halls or attend local events, and their local offices serve as "home base," making this a good time to speak with them and their staff members in-person or by phone.

To that end, Research!America released this guide to help researchers and advocates talk about OMB's proposed grant rule. This advocacy guide provides talking points, answers to common questions, and other tips you can use when engaging with your representatives. You don't need to be a policy expert or use every point provided in this guide. Instead, it's been developed to help you have short, personal conversations, which can make a real difference.

The Senate's version of the Continuing Resolution, which included a provision that would delay OMB from finalizing its proposed rule, was a huge victory this week. However, advocates have a lot more work to do. Our latest Weekly Letter provides links to a new toolkit and talking points you can use when making the case to your representatives that the proposed OMB rule must be stopped.

Today's Morning Pulse newsletter from @politico covered the Senate Appropriations Committee's Continuing Resolution, which would delay OMB's sweeping proposed changes to federal grantmaking. Included in their coverage are some of the concerns of the science and health research community, as well as this quote from Research!America President and CEO Russ Paulsen:

"This delay helps ensure OMB takes those concerns seriously and goes back to the drawing board."
