Since ngVLA activities began in 2015, the NSF NRAO has proactively engaged the worldwide scientific and technical communities in those activities.  

The ngVLA Science Advisory Council offers expertise, guidance and feedback, and leads the efforts of the 300+ subscribers to the ngVLA Science Working Groups. The ngVLA Technical Advisory Council offers expertise, guidance and feedback on engineering and computing topics.

The ngVLA Project Office sought Science Book chapters and Astro2020 white papers from the community, and continues to seek science use cases. The ngVLA Project Office has supported 50+ ngVLA Community Studies, showcased 70+ papers related to the ngVLA in the NRAO Science Newsletter, supported 30+ conferences and workshops related to the ngVLA, and tracked 1600+ mentions of ngVLA in publications from the community. These tallies are as of mid-2026 and will continue to grow.
