        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; authorized travel; maintenance and
    operation of aircraft and purchase of flight services for research

    which not to exceed [$253,000,000] $285,410,000 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, [2001] 2002: 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 $60,000,000 of the funds
    available under this heading shall be made available for a comprehensive
    research initiative on plant genomes for economically significant crop:
    Provided further, That none of the funds appropriated or otherwise made
    available to the National Science Foundation in this or any prior Act
    may be obligated or expended by the National Science Foundation to enter
    into or extend a grant, contract, or cooperative agreement for the
    support of administering the domain name and numbering system of the
    Internet after September 30, 1998: Provided further, That no funds in
    this or any other Act shall be used to acquire or lease a research
    vessel with ice-breaking capability built or retrofitted by a shipyard
    located in a foreign country if such a vessel of United States origin
    can be obtained at a cost no more than 50 per centum above that of the
    least expensive technically acceptable foreign vessel bid: Provided
    further, That, in determining the cost of such a vessel, such cost be
    increased by the amount of any subsidies or financing provided by a
    foreign government (or instrumentality thereof ) to such vessel's
    construction: Provided further, That if the vessel contracted for
    pursuant to the foregoing is not available for the 2002-2003 austral
    summer Antarctic season, a vessel of any origin may be leased for a
    period of not to exceed 120 days for that season and each season
    thereafter until delivery of the new vessel]. (Departments of Veterans

        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, and connections to its use in the service of
    society; a diverse, internationally competitive and globally-engaged
    workforce of scientists, engineers and well-prepared citizens; and
    broadly accessible, state-of-the-art information bases and shared
    research and education tools. Research activities will contribute to the
    achievement of these goals through development of intellectual capital,
    integration of research and education, and

    [[Page 1062]]

    promotion of partnerships. This appropriation supports NSF's active
    development of performance indicators.

        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 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 ensuring a
    diverse, internationally competitive and globally-engaged workforce of
    scientists, engineers and well-prepared citizens. At the pre-
    kindergarten through grade 12 (pre K-12) level, EHR catalyzes systemic
    reform of science, mathematics, engineering and technology (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 also 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 programs 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 including activities focused on the improvement of infrastructure
    and academic programs at minority-serving institutions. The Office of
    Innovation Partnerships was initiated in FY 2000 to examine means of
    helping institutions expand their research capacity and competitiveness
    so as to develop a truly national scientific research community.
    Included is the Experimental program to stimulate competitive research
    (EPSCoR) that 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.

        Education and human resources programs are included in the 21st
    Century research fund.
