The Coalition for National Science Funding, of which AAU is a member, sent a letter to House and Senate Appropriations Committee leaders urging them to complete the FY20 Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations bill before the current continuing resolution expires November 21. The letter also urges committee leaders to make funding for NSF a high priority by appropriating at least $8.6 billion in FY20. While this funding level would allow NSF to continue U.S. leadership in science and technology, the Coalition respectfully suggests that more funds are needed to address the effect of years of underinvestment at the agency.
