With impending challenges to federal support of plasma science and engineering (PSE), we ask for your support in promoting the value of PSE research and development to federal decision makers. The position paper Plasma Science and Engineering: A Foundational Asset For National and Economic Security describes the benefits of federal support of PSE. We ask you to be a signatory of the position paper that will be used in advocating for PSE.
Link to the position paper and sign-on: Link ( https://forms.gle/Ajw7DF71SawwUMnz6 )
We encourage you to use the position paper (1 and 2 page versions are available at the link) in your own advocacy, and in working with your institution’s government affairs offices.
