Across the nation, roughly 3,200 statements were submitted by the nation's Land-Grant institutions this year. These fact sheets will be completed by about mid-April and made available to Congressional staff. Sets are sent to college administrators and communicators as well. Locally, we have posted impact statements on the Extension Home page and they have played a role in our media relations efforts, serving as story ideas for media across the state. More uses are being planned.
Anecdotal research says they work.
I understand more formal research into their effectiveness at the federal level is just getting started.
