By Lewis-Burke Associates, LLC – April 4, 2025
The Trump Administration has continued to issue Executive Orders (EOs) that broadly impact the research and development (R&D) enterprise, human factors-oriented activities, the federal workforce, and the regulatory environment. HFES will continue to monitor EOs as they are issued to analyze their impact on human factors and ergonomics (HF/E)priorities.
Please consider reaching out to your Representatives and Senators (find their names and contact information here) to share your impact stories, both now and as more changes occur to communicate the impact of these actions on HF/E priorities.
