Summary
The RESEARCHER Act requires the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy to develop policy guidelines for federal research agencies addressing financial instability among graduate and postdoctoral researchers within six months. The guidelines must address stipend increases (including location-based indexing), access to healthcare, housing, transportation, food security, and family care support. Federal research agencies must implement policies consistent with these guidelines within six months and report progress; the bill also mandates data collection on researcher stipends and financial instability, a National Academies study, and a GAO assessment of implementation effectiveness.
