Throughout the year, SOT is approached by like-minded organizations to lend its support to varying issues and recommendations. This blog contains a summary of recent actions by SOT related to regulations and public policy.
Support and Concern for the NIH
On June 10, 2025, SOT joined 100+ organizations in signing a letter expressing support for and concerns about the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This letter was sent to the House Speaker and Minority Leader and the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders. The letter states that “cuts and restructuring plans, developed without Congressional or stakeholder expertise, will essentially dismantle NIH as we know it, preventing the agency from conducting lifesaving research and fulfilling training objectives in accordance with statutory requirements.” You can read the complete letter on the SOT website.
Remember that you can view recent SOT statements and policy activities on the “SOT Statements” web page. You also can find a historical record of policy activities and SOT documents, such as Annual Business Meeting presentations and Annual Meeting publications, on the “Publications and Historical Documents” web page.
