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.

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.
