NNA Virtual Investigators Meeting Agenda & Summary Notes
Below are the agenda and summary notes from the virtual meeting. The summary notes are not intended as the official report of the meeting and have not yet been reviewed by meeting participants nor copy-edited. A formal meeting report, which will be reviewed by meeting participants, is forthcoming. However, given the call for proposals for an NNA Coordination Office, the meeting organizers (ARCUS and NSF), felt that it was important to release this draft version of meeting notes as quickly as possible to benefit those submitting proposals.
