CEAS Joins Colleagues on Capitol Hill to Advocate for Crucial Funding
On February 7th, Associate Dean for Research and Entrepreneurship and Interim Chair
of the Mechanical Engineering Department, Jon Longtin represented Stony Brook University on behalf of Dean Andrew Singer.
He urged members of the New York congressional delegation and their staff to provide robust funding for all federal science agencies as Congress seeks to pass FY24 appropriations bills and commence the FY25 federal budget process.
“Federal funded research advancements touch every corner of our lives and economy,” said Longtin. “From quantum computing and artificial intelligence to driving innovation in cancer treatment, Stony Brook University researchers are working on developing the next cutting-edge technologies and medical advancements. However, this transformative research can only propel forward with predictable and strong federal funding investments.”
