SRCD signed on to a Coalition for National Science Funding (CNSF) letter in support of increasing funding for the National Science Foundation (NSF) in FY 2022 appropriations. The letter emphasizes the importance of funding to meet global challenges and ensure U.S. leadership in science and technology.
The letter notes, “We are in a critical time, with myriad challenges that include the ongoing pandemic, climate change, supply chain disruptions, and an increased focus by competing nations on emerging technologies. NSF is a central part of the solution... Congress has significant interest in ensuring that NSF funds priority areas, including technologies that will be key to our national competitiveness. NSF needs enough funding to meet the massive scale of global challenges we face and fulfill Congress’s vision for U.S. leadership in science and technology.”
The Coalition for National Science Funding (CNSF) is an alliance of professional organizations, scientific societies, universities, and businesses united in their advocacy for the National Science Foundation (NSF). The Society for Research in Child Development is a CNSF member.
