  • Each week, the AIBS Public Policy Office identifies items in the Federal Register that have national or international implications for biological research and education. These items are compiled and posted to the AIBS Federal Register Resource website each Monday. The website also provides basic information on the federal rulemaking process, tips for preparing and submitting comments to federal agencies, and useful internet links for electronic submission of comments.
