NNA Follow Up Letter

We—federally recognized Tribes and regional Tribal Consortia representing or comprised of over 75 federally recognized Tribes4—are writing to provide additional specific recommendations that can be used by NSF to ensure that NNA funding is spent well and achieves societal benefits. The recommendations provided here are relevant to Executive Order 13985, which directs NSF to identify barriers that underserved communities face in accessing NSF programs and provide recommendations for how NSF can allocate resources to address the historic failure to invest sufficiently, justly, and equally in underserved communities.
