Good morning/afternoon,
My name is [NAME] and I am a constituent from [CITY, STATE]. I [EXPLAIN YOUR CURRENT OR PAST RELATIONSHIP WITH HUMAN FACTORS RESEARCH]. On behalf of the human factors research community, I urge you to fight against the ongoing Reductions in Force (RIFs) at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), especially within critical agencies like the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
Human factors research has contributed to significant advances in critical safety protocols that prevent debilitating injuries and keep people alive. [IF POSSIBLE, INSERT A PERSONAL ANECDOTE]. The RIFs to agencies like NIOSH, which supports vital research to advance worker safety and health across all industries, states, and sectors, are devastating.
As a constituent, I ask that you protect the future of NIOSH and human factors research by fighting back on the massive workforce cuts caused by these RIFs.
Sincerely,
[NAME]
