Many of our government and grant funded colleagues have lost or are losing their jobs. If you have a position, reach out to your colleagues in research orgs (RELs, Comprehensive Centers, WestEd, MDRC, etc.). You may help keep a great researcher in the field and get a fantastic staffer. Even temporary or project work may be a lifesaver. If you can, do something to help.
