AAU joined the Friends of Institute of Education Sciences Coalition in sending a letter urging the House and Senate Appropriations Committee leadership to include $814 million for IES as part of a final FY22 appropriations agreement. “This top-line level of funding was included in the Senate Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations bill and would help restore a decade of lost purchasing power that has limited the flexibility to fully fund emerging research areas and scale up promising interventions,” the letter noted.
