The RESEARCHER Act, or Relieving Economic Strain to Enhance American Resilience and Competitiveness in Higher Education and Research Act, mandates the Office of Science and Technology Policy to create guidelines for federal research agencies to tackle financial instability among graduate and postdoctoral researchers. It requires federal research agencies to implement these guidelines and report on their progress.
