20510 Dear Chair Shaheen and Ranking Member Moran, As the Subcommittee begins deliberations on the Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23) Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill, the Coalition for National Science Funding (CNSF) writes to respectfully urge that the National Science Foundation (NSF) receive an appropriation of at least $11 billion in FY23. [...] NSF needs a substantial increase in its budget to achieve the goals envisioned in the America Creating Opportunities for Manufacturing, Pre-Eminence in Technology, and Economic Strength (COMPETES) Act and the U. [...] We ask Congress to make bold investments in the NSF this year, setting the agency on a course to advance domestic innovation and to keep pace with investments other countries are making in research and development. [...] For example, advances in artificial intelligence and big data allow researchers to map the spread of the coronavirus and share data with healthcare professionals, state and local leaders, and the public. [...] NSF is playing a key role in rebuilding our economy after the pandemic and ensure that we are better prepared for the next public health crisis; and • Ensure that NSF’s support for scientific facilities and research infrastructure continue to provide cutting edge equipment to train the workforce our country needs to innovate, educate, and manufacture.
