[Letter to members of Congress]
The Coalition for National Science Funding (CNSF), a broad-based group of professional organizations, universities, businesses, and scientific societies that advocates for sustained, robust federal support for science, recommends an $8 billion appropriation for the National Science Foundation (NSF) in FY2018. We also ask Congress to maintain its longstanding commitment to the diversity of research disciplines NSF supports, each of which contributes in profound ways, advancing our nation’s domestic interests and global competitiveness.
