Coalitions
The Societies collaborate with various coalitions to strengthen our voices. Coalitions where the Societies are particularly active include:
Coalition for National Science Funding (CNSF) - an alliance of over 100 organizations united by a concern for the future vitality of the national science, mathematics, and engineering enterprise. CNSF supports the goal of increasing the national investment in the National Science Foundation's (NSF's) research and education programs in response to the unprecedented scientific, technological, and economic opportunities facing the United States.
US Geological Survey Coalition - an alliance of 69 organizations united by a commitment to the continued vitality of the unique combination of biological, geological, hydrological and mapping programs of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The USGS provides independent, high-quality data, information, research support and assessments needed by federal, state, local and tribal policymakers, resource and emergency managers, engineers and planners, researchers and educators and the public. The Coalition supports increased federal investment in USGS programs that underpin responsible natural resource stewardship, improve resilience to natural and human-induced hazards, and contribute to the long-term health, security and prosperity of the nation.
Coalition on Funding Agricultural Research Missions (CoFarm) - is a broadly based coalition united by a commitment to advance and sustain investment in our nation's fundamental and applied agricultural research at USDA.
Biological and Ecological Sciences Coalition (BESC) - supports the goal of increasing the nation's investment in the non-medical biological sciences across all federal agencies including the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Department of Energy, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Energy Sciences Coalition - a broad-based coalition of organizations representing scientists, engineers and mathematicians in universities, industry and national laboratories who are committed to supporting and advancing the scientific research programs of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and in particular, the DOE Office of Science.
