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
to society; Tools-providing broadly accessible, state-of-the-art science
and engineering facilities, tools and other infrastructure that enable
discovery, learning and innovation; and People-development of a diverse,
competitive, and globally-engaged U.S. workforce of scientists,
engineers, technologists and well-prepared citizens. 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
[[Page 1074]]
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.
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, education, and infrastructure in the social, behavioral,
cognitive, and economic sciences and funds the collection and
dissemination of statistics on the science and engineering enterprise.
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.
U.S. Antarctic logistical support activities.--This activity
provides funding to reimburse Federal agencies for logistical and other
related activities supported by 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.
Office of Cyberinfrastructure.--This activity supports acquisitions,
operations, and upgrades of cyberinfrastructure in support of the
nation's science and engineering research and education community.
Arctic Research Commission.--This activity promotes Arctic research
and recommends national Arctic research policies to guide Federal
agencies in developing and implementing their research programs in the
Arctic region.

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. science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce, as well as scientifically
literate citizens. At the pre-kindergarten through grade 12 (pre-K-12)
levels, EHR catalyzes reform of STEM education through the development
of public-private partnerships. Its pre-K-12 programs provide new
instructional materials for students and teachers that incorporate the
latest advances in teaching, learning, and educational technologies;
growth in the knowledge base; and teacher education opportunities that
support the full continuum of STEM teacher education from pre-service
and in-service, through life-long learning. 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 education research that advances our knowledge of how
people learn in the STEM disciplines; it also supports the development
and effective implementation of learning technologies. Evaluation and
communication activities ensure accountability by developing indicators
that measure program impact and inform the education community of best
practices and relevant information. EHR activities also include programs
supported by H-1B non-immigrant visa fees. These programs provide
undergraduate and graduate scholarships in STEM fields, support for
private-public partnerships in K-12, and support for STEM education by
providing research opportunities for STEM teachers and students in
grades 7-12. EHR's funding 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.
