AADR Advocacy Day on the Hill will take place on April 19th (Cannon House Office Building Room 122). The event is certain to be an important one for the dental and craniofacial research community. Participants will hear from a distinguished group of speakers, including: NIDCR Director Dr. Martha Somerman, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (Ranking Member of the House Subcommittee on Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations), and Congressman Mike Simpson (Co-Chair of the Congressional Oral Health Caucus). After a short morning briefing, participants will then spread out on the Hill to articulate the importance of dental and craniofacial research, in the offices of their Members of Congress. It’s not too late to join the effort! E-mail jnurse@aadronline.org if you would like to participate.
