WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) was honored Wednesday night by the Science Coalition with a Champion of Science Award, which recognizes members of Congress for their commitment to science through support for funding for federal research agencies.
As the ranking member of the Senate Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee, Shaheen has been a strong advocate for scientific research funding priorities. In last year’s spending agreement, Shaheen spearheaded efforts to prioritize agencies that conduct research, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Science Foundation and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
