Aviation Coalition The Aviation Coalition advocates for government support on civil aviation issues, especially those which directly impact the aerospace industry and the engineers our organizations represent The Coalition meets monthly to plan actions that will show the Administration and Congress the importance for funding high risk research in the field of aviation, as well as the looming economics and national security effects that a weakened U.S. aviation industry would have nationally. For more information and specific information about this coalition, please contact Chris Schons. Coalition for National Security Research The Coalition for National Security Research (CNSR) is administered by the Consortium for Oceanographic Research & Education and is a broadly-based coalition united by a commitment to a strong defense science and technology base. Participants include more than eighty scientific, engineering, mathematical and behavioral societies, academic institutions, and industrial associations.
