Government Relations for Researchers

The University at Albany has retained the services of Lewis-Burke Associates LLC, a Washington, D.C.-based federal relations consulting and lobbying firm with a proven history of success working with research universities to articulate and execute their federal agendas.  

Working closely with leadership in the Division for Research & Economic Development and the Office of Government & Community Relations, members of the Lewis-Burke team provide support by:

  • Raising the University’s profile and access to critical policymakers and committees in Congress as well as leading federal agencies
  • Crafting and implementing strategies to further UAlbany congressional appropriations and authorization priorities
  • Delivering advanced intelligence on emerging opportunities that maximize UAlbany’s competitiveness

Additionally, the firm shares important updates on administration actions that may impact higher education, including research, and produces newsletters that provide intel and funding opportunities across several key areas. 

Note: A UAlbany log-in is required to access these policy updates and to sign up for and receive newsletters.
