The Coalition for National Science Funding, which includes AAU, sent a letter thanking the Appropriations committees in both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate for their continued support in NSF funding for the Fiscal Year 2022. The letter also urges that Congress support the higher funding for NSF included in the House FY 2022 Commerce, Justice, Science bill. CNSF seeks robust funding for core activities including education and human resources, and additional funds to support the creation of the new Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP).
