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.
