Spring 2026 Agenda
Our policy teams are working on a variety of science policy topics that have very little to know awareness. As advocates of The Vannevar Group, our biggest goal is to not only provide awareness to the public and stakeholders, but to provide tangible solutions on the best way to solve these issues. Below you can take a look on what is currently being worked on.
Defending Science
In Science, the Endless Frontier, Vannevar Bush argues that advancing scientific research is vital to our nation’s economic well-being and security.
This principle remains true today.
Whether in public health, the military, technology, or other sectors, investments in science yield solutions that improve the lives of all Americans.
These innovations not only generate economic growth but benefit individuals, communities, and society as a whole.
DUE the Right Thing
Federal immigration detention continues to undermine due process by denying detained immigrants effective access to legal representation, despite constitutional protections for all persons in the United States. We are working to develop policy outlining the removal minimum detention caps, expanding immigration court capacity, and redirecting funding to reimburse pro bono legal services through private firms to strengthen due process and reduce wasteful detention spending.
Breath of Fresh Air
There is an unacceptable number of preventable lung cancer deaths in America every year. We are advocating for increased coverage for follow up screenings to relieve financial burdens and increase access to early definitive treatment.
