The Society for Neuroscience Advocacy Network
*The Society for Neuroscience is not affiliated with NeuroVote and does not endorse any views contained within. As an available resource, the SfN Advocacy Network is an excellent resource to stay informed of congressional activities. They provide ways to get involved, how to contact your representatives, and keep you informed of congressional goings-on which impact neuroscience.
Congress.gov
Congress.gov is maintained by the Library of Congress, and provides a searchable resource to research congressional votes, the congressional record, committee members, and other aspects of congressional activities. Its excellent searchability has made it a key resource for us.
VoteSmart
VoteSmart is a large resource of previous votes, candidate positions, ratings from lobbyist organizations, and funding sources compiled in one place.
GovTrack
GovTrack is another non-profit resource we’ve used to find information on congressional votes. It has worked to lobby congress to make data more openly accessible, enabling projects like ours.
