    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.
