Bill > HR0033

This resolution calls on the United States Congress to restore funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to research universities. The document highlights the critical role USAID has played in supporting research across various domains including agriculture, food security, public health, education, and global development. Specifically, the resolution emphasizes how research universities like Michigan State University have been instrumental in advancing international research and creating global partnerships that benefit both the United States and partner nations. The resolution points out that a recent funding freeze has disrupted important research programs, such as the Feed the Future Lab for Security Policy Research, Capacity, and Influence, which has significantly contributed to global food security efforts. By urging Congress to reinstate USAID funding, the resolution aims to ensure that ongoing and future research projects can continue, maintaining the United States' leadership in research and development while supporting economic and social stability worldwide. The resolution also calls for transmitting copies of the resolution to key government officials, including the President, congressional leadership, and the USAID Acting Administrator.
