The Nuclear Physics day on the hill is an annual congressional outreach event, organized by the out reach divisions and 
user groups from JLAB, NSCL and RHIC. Members of Congress and their staffs are often unaware of the economic and scientific 
impact of JLab on their state and districts. The most effective way to change this situation is for scientists from the Members 
district or state to visit Congress. Jlab users have been participating in this annual event since 2013. To ensure strong and 
continued support for nuclear physics research, it is essential that JLab users take an active role in communicating to members 
of Congress about the value of basic research in nuclear physics and the importance of supporting nuclear physics research. These 
visits help demonstrate the value of their support for nuclear physics and communicates the excitement and enthusiasm of the scientists. 
It is very important to have a wide representation from the entire JLab user community including students and post-docs. In order to 
improve participation, JSA has provided dedicated funds as matching support for visits by JLab users from all over the country. All of 
the information from previous visits is available on this wiki. We urge more users to participate in 
this event to help ensure continued support for nuclear physics research. The 2015 visit is tentatively scheduled for March 23.
