Research universities play a critical role in understanding pandemics and discovering ways to prevent, identify and treat life-threatening illnesses such as #Covid19 and we must provide relief for the workforce that sustains our research industry in the next stimulus package.
As Congress continues to work on a #CARESAct 2, it is important we include funding for scientific and medical researchers that work out of university-based laboratories that have been shut down due to the #coronavirus crisis.
After President Trump removed Acting Pentagon Inspector General Glenn Fine, who was tasked with safe-guarding $2 Trillion dollars provided in the CARES Act, I have taken action to restore Mr. Fine’s eligibility as pandemic committee chair. https://t.co/M1uFbXrGe3
Mr. Fine was first chosen with bipartisan support in Congress to guarantee COVID-19 funding was properly handled and this bill will help strengthen IG oversight to ensure this critical taxpayer money is not abused or mismanaged. https://t.co/M1uFbXrGe3
