Advocacy Efforts

  • Shared goal with USLUA: create & strengthen relationships on the

Hill, ensure future funding for basic research

  • APS Office of Public Affairs:
  • Handles communication of science & research between

physicists, the public, and the government

  • New: Francis “Slake” Slakey appointed as Director

Federal Research Funding Clean Energy & Climate Change STEM Education Visas & Immigration

Campaigns Across APS

  • FGSA: “social media storm” to

address how federal research funding is important for future of students

  • Forum on Physics & Society:

addressed current spending caps

  • n federal budget
  • DPF & DNP: joint campaign to

contact Representatives via template

➡Total: 285 congressional offices!

FY2018 Funding Efforts

  • May 2017: Testimony by Maria Spiropulu (APS FIP past chair, CMS/Caltech) before

House Appropriations Energy and Water Subcommittee

  • October 2017: Letter sent to Senate & House Energy Appropriations subcommittees from

all DPF & User’s Groups chairs

  • “Write Congress”: Excellent effort by Carena, Cogliani, Lankford, & Newman to simplify

process of contacting Congress for users

  • Achieved very favorable Senate bill with $860M for HEP

US-CERN Virtual Visits

  • Effort on behalf of USLUA, as well as ATLAS & CMS Outreach
  • Vidyo connection to ACR & CMS cavern: achieve benefits of in-

person visit, easier for federal contacts to participate

  • Talk given at the 2017 DPF meeting (slides)

➡ Potential for USLUA to act as host, both virtually and in-person

SCOAP3: What to Know

  • Global consortium designed to realize large-scale open

access publishing of HEP research

  • April 2017: APS Board of Directors voted to enter into

SCOAP3 with CERN

  • Agreement starting Jan 2018 through 2019
  • Covering Phys Review C, D, & Letters
  • Official terms still TBD: announcement expected within 1-2

weeks

Looking Forward

  • 2017 was an excellent example of constructive

interference between APS & USLUA

  • FY2018 funding quite favorable
  • Such a unified front will continue to be necessary
  • Get involved with APS: elections underway
  • APS April Meeting 2018: no longer in January!
