What is the Council on Governmental Relations?

Council on Governmental Relations (COGR) is an association of affiliated medical centers, independent research institutes, and research universities, including Pitt.

COGR communicates the viewpoint and concerns of its members and fosters productive relationships between the research community and federal policymakers, advocating for innovation and change that avoid unnecessary regulatory burden. COGR convenes three meetings each year to keep its membership informed on current issues facing research institutions.
