There are two additional opportunities for Tribal Nation leaders to share what’s important to them:

  • Tribal Nation leaders and their designees are invited to provide written statements by May 14, 2022 by emailing them to Tribal.Engagement@nsf.gov or mailing them to NSF Tribal Liaison, OD/OGC Room W 18245, 2415 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22314.
  • Tribal Nation leaders and their designees are invited to visit NSF’s virtual room designed to supplement this engagement.

This engagement is a part of NSF’s Response to the Presidential Memorandum on Tribal Consultation and Strengthening Nation-to-Nation Relationships.
