General and special funds:

                     Research and Related Activities

    For necessary expenses in carrying out the National Science 
Foundation Act of 1950, as amended (42 U.S.C. 1861-1875), and the Act to 
establish a National Medal of Science (42 U.S.C. 1880-1881); services as 
authorized by 5 U.S.C. 3109; maintenance and operation of aircraft and 
purchase of flight services for research support; acquisition of 
aircraft, award-related travel, [$2,770,000,000] $3,004,000,000, of 
which not to exceed [$257,460,000] $250,630,000, shall remain available 
until expended for Polar research and operations support, and for 
reimbursement to other Federal agencies for operational and science 
support and logistical and other related activities for the United 
States Antarctic program; the balance to remain available until 
September 30, [2000] 2001: Provided, That receipts for scientific 
support services and materials furnished by the National Research 
Centers and other National Science Foundation supported research 
facilities may be credited to this appropriation: Provided further, That 
to the extent that the amount appropriated is less than the total amount 
authorized to be appropriated for included program activities, all 
amounts, including floors and ceilings, specified in the authorizing Act 
for those program activities or their subactivities shall be reduced 
proportionally[: Provided further, That none of the funds appropriated 
or otherwise made available to the National Science Foundation in this

    The research and related activities appropriation enables the United 
States to uphold world leadership in all aspects of science and 
engineering. This appropriation provides resources for NSF to achieve 
the following outcome goals: discoveries at and across the frontier of 
science and engineering; connections between discoveries and their use 
in service to society; a diverse, globally-oriented workforce of 
scientists and engineers; and relevant, timely information on the 
national and international science and engineering enterprise. Research 
activities will contribute to the achievement of these goals through 
expansion of the knowledge base; integration of research and education; 
stimulation of knowledge transfer among academia and the public and 
private sectors; and bringing the perspectives of many disciplines to 
bear on complex problems important to the nation. This appropriation 
supports NSF's active development of performance indicators tied to the 
key program functions of Research Project Support, Research Facilities, 
and Education and Training.

    Program activities in the Research and Related Activities 
Appropriation, are included in the 21st Century Research Fund.

    The major research program activities of the Foundation are:

    Biological sciences.--This activity promotes scientific progress in 
biology through support of research ranging from

[[Page 1062]]

the study of molecules, through cells and organisms, to studies of 
ecosystems. This activity also supports a comprehensive research 
initiative on plant genomes, including research on economically 
significant crops.

    Computer and information sciences and engineering.--Research is 
directed at ``information technology'' in the broadest sense of the 
term, ranging from fundamental theory to systems engineering.

    Engineering.--Research supported by this activity aims to increase 
U.S. engineering capability and strength, and focus that capability and 
strength on areas which are relevant to national problems and long-term 
needs. This activity also includes small business innovation research.

    Geosciences.--This research advances knowledge of the properties and 
dynamics of the planet Earth.

    Mathematical and physical sciences.--Research in this activity is 
directed at increasing understanding of natural laws and phenomena. It 
includes research in mathematical sciences, astronomy, physics, 
chemistry, and materials science.

    Social, behavioral and economic sciences.--This activity supports 
research in social, behavioral and economic sciences, facilitates 
international scientific cooperation, and funds science resources 
studies.

    U.S. polar research programs.--This activity supports Arctic and 
Antarctic research and operational science support and other related 
activities for the United States polar research programs. This activity 
includes funding for the expenses of the Arctic Research Commission.

    U.S. Antarctic logistical support activities.--This activity 
provides funding for reimbursing Federal agencies for logistical and 
other related activities for the United States Antarctic Program.

    Integrative activities.--This activity supports emerging cross-
disciplinary research efforts and major research instrumentation. This 
activity also provides support for the Science and Technology Policy 
Institute.

    Education and human resources (EHR) activities provide a 
comprehensive set of programs that further NSF's goal of promoting 
excellence in U.S. science, mathematics, engineering, and technology 
(SMET) education and scientific literacy. At the pre-kindergarten 
through grade 12 (pre K-12) level, EHR catalyzes systemic reform of SMET 
education in states, cities, school districts, and rural areas. Its pre 
K-12 programs provide new instructional materials and pedagogical 
techniques that incorporate the latest advances in teaching, learning, 
and educational technologies. They provide enrichment activities for 
teachers and students. Undergraduate initiatives improve curricula in 
all SMET fields and lead reform efforts in mathematics, chemistry, and 
other disciplines. EHR pro- grams strengthen laboratory course offerings 
and enhance faculty. Programs for advanced technological education 
strengthen education for students preparing to enter the high-technology 
workforce. Graduate level support is directed primarily to research and 
education fellowships and traineeships to guarantee the U.S. world 
leadership in science and technology. All EHR programming focuses on 
broadening participation of groups underrepresented in SMET fields. The 
experimental program to stimulate competitive research (EPSCoR) broadens 
participation of states and regions in science and

engineering. EHR supports research that advances SMET education, as well 
as development and effective implementation of learning technologies. 
Evaluation and communications activities ensure accountability by 
developing indicators that measure program impact and inform the 
education community of best practices and relevant information. Also 
included within EHR are funds resulting from the collection and use of 
H-1B non-immigrant fees, for scholarships, enrichment courses, and 
systemic reform activities. This appropriation also supports NSF's 
active development of performance indicators tied to the key program 
functions of Education and Training and Research Project Support.

    Education and Human Research programs are included in the 21st 
Century Research Fund.

    This account consists of contributions from foreign governments, 
organizations and individuals to fund various cooperative efforts in 
science research and education. These efforts include major 
international projects, such as operation and construction of the GEMINI 
telescope, and the NSF Ocean Drilling Program. Other smaller activities 
supported include cooperative research, joint seminars, exchange of 
senior scientists, short-term research development visits, international 
conferences, and support for certain special functions of NSF and the 
National Science Board. These funds are not otherwise available.
