A recent IRIS fact sheet titled “The Impact of American University Research Spending” was cited in an article in the Policy Forum section of Science magazine.
The piece, co-written by authors from the University of Michigan, Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, University of California at Berkeley, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, provides guidance for a phased-in ramp-up of scientific research after the COVID-19 pandemic. It can be found at https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/05/27/science.abc5599.
The IRIS fact sheet was also a key supporting document in the Dear Colleague letter co-sponsored by Reps. Fred Upton, R-Mich., and Diana DeGette, D-Colo., calling for funding relief for university-based research. The letter is supported by 182 members of the House.
