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
strategic outcomes: Ideas--enabling discovery across the frontier of
science and engineering, connected to learning, innovation and service
of society; People--development of a diverse, competitive and globally-
engaged U.S. workforce of scientists, engineers, technologists and well-
prepared citizens; and Tools--providing broadly accessible, state-of-
the-art science and engineering facilities, tools and other
infrastructure that enable discovery, learning and innovation. 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 that 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.
[[Page 1052]]
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, competitive, and globally-engaged U.S. workforce of scientists,
engineers, technologists and well-prepared citizens. At the pre-
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. It also supports training activities for pre-
service and in-service STEM teachers.
[[Page 1055]]
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.

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 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.
