    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.
