The GRAD Coalition exists to support the efforts and initiatives of the U.S. House of Representatives – Graduate Research and Development (GRAD) Caucus. The Coalition promotes graduate student needs to GRAD Caucus members, helps develop legislative priorities for the Caucus, and organizes events, including issue briefings and research symposiums. While ultimate legislative jurisdiction remains with the Caucus, the GRAD Coalition supports Caucus efforts and ensures that issues affecting graduate students remain a point of focus for elected officials.
