    The research and related activities appropriation enables the United 
States to provide leadership and promote progress across the expanding 
frontiers of scientific and engineering research and education. This 
appropriation provides resources for NSF to achieve the following goals 
for strategic outcomes: enabling discovery across the frontier of 
science and engineering, connected to learning, innovation and service 
of society; development of a diverse, internationally competitive and 
globally-engaged workforce of scientists, engineers and well-prepared 
citizens; and providing broadly accessible, state-of-the-art 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 promotion of partnerships. 
This appropriation supports NSF's active development of performance 
indicators.

    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.

[[Page 1036]]

    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.

kindergarten through grade 12 (pre K-12) level, EHR catalyzes reform of 
science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education 
through the development of public-private partnerships. 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 support training activities for pre-
service and in-service STEM teachers. Undergraduate programs improve 
curricula, strengthen laboratory course offerings, enhance faculty, and 
lead reform efforts in STEM disciplines. Programs for advanced 
technological education strengthen education for students preparing to 
enter the high-technology workforce. Graduate level support is directed 
primarily to fellowships and traineeships to sustain the U.S. world 
leadership in science and technology. All EHR programming focuses on 
broadening participation of groups underrepresented in STEM fields 
including activities focused on the improvement of infrastructure and 
academic programs at minority-serving institutions. The Experimental 
Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) broadens 
participation of States and regions in science and engineering by 
helping institutions expand their research capacity and competitiveness. 
EHR supports research that advances STEM 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 undergraduate and graduate scholarships in 
computer science, mathematics, and engineering and private-public 
partnerships in K-12 for STEM education. This appropriation also 
supports NSF's active development of performance indicators.
