Please Support NSF Funding

The basic research funded by the National Science Foundation is vital to our profession, to our communities, and to our economy. While those in Washington D.C. continue to support such activities, we know that our federal government can always do better. The Administration and Senators on both sides of the aisle agree. Senators Bond and Lieberman are currently circulating a letter in support of the Administration’s proposal to increase NSF funding for 2008 by 7.8% over 2007 levels.

Please take a moment to let your Senators know that basic research is important to our future and that you'd like to see them join Senators Bond and Lieberman in supporting increased funding for NSF in 2008.

Thanks for supporting NSF funded science.
