    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 science and engineering.--Research is 
directed at ``information technology'' in the broadest sense of the 
term, ranging from fundamental theory to systems engineering.

[[Page 1082]]

    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.

    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 and funds 
compilation and analysis of science resources data.

    Office of international science and engineering.--This activity 
promotes an integrated strategy for international science and 
engineering which complements and enhances the Foundation's broader 
research and education goals and which facilitates international 
collaboration.

    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. 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 or other technology and science programs and private-
public partnerships in K-12 for STEM education. This appropriation also 
supports NSF's active development of performance indicators.
