Subject: [Sgrforum] Petition on anti-lobbying clause for research grants
Dear forum
There was a bit of discussion on this list a few weeks ago about a new anti-lobbying clause due to be introduced in the conditions for government research grants. SGR is starting to work with other science campaign groups on this issue, and a petition to parliament has been set up, which we encourage you to sign. A link to the petition and an article explaining the concerns are given below.
Please do forward the petition to your contacts
many thanks
Stuart
