                         THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008

                           NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION

                                  Federal Funds

                         Research and Related Activities

        For necessary expenses in carrying out the National Science
    Foundation Act of 1950, as amended (42 U.S.C. 1861-1875), and the Act to
    establish a National Medal of Science (42 U.S.C. 1880-1881); services as
    authorized by 5 U.S.C. 3109; maintenance and operation of aircraft and
    purchase of flight services for research support; acquisition of
    aircraft; and authorized travel; $5,131,690,000, to remain available
    until September 30, 2009, of which not to exceed $510,000,000 shall
    remain available until expended for Polar research and operations
    support, and for reimbursement to other Federal agencies for operational
    and science support and logistical and other related activities for the
    United States Antarctic program: Provided, That receipts for scientific
    support services and materials furnished by the National Research
    Centers and other National Science Foundation supported research
    facilities may be credited to this appropriation.

        Note.--A regular 2007 appropriation for this account had not been
    enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is
    operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 109-289, Division B, as
    amended). The amounts included for 2007 in this budget reflect the
    levels provided by the continuing resolution.

        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 the National Science Foundation
    (NSF) to achieve the following strategic outcome goals: Discovery--
    fostering research that will advance the frontiers of knowledge,
    emphasizing areas of greatest opportunity and potential benefit and
    establishing the Nation as a global leader in fundamental and
    transformational science and engineering; Learning--cultivating a world-
    class, broadly inclusive science and engineering workforce and expanding
    the scientific literacy of all citizens; and Research Infrastructure--
    building the Nation's research capability through critical investments
    in advanced instrumentation, facilities, cyberinfrastructure, and
    experimental tools. Research activities will contribute to the
    achievement of these goals by advancing discovery, innovation, and
    education beyond the frontiers of current knowledge and empowering
    future generations in science and engineering. This appropriation
    supports NSF's active development of performance indicators.

        The major research program activities of NSF 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.

        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 Earth.

        Mathematical and physical sciences.--Research in this activity is
    directed at increasing understanding of natural laws and phenomena. It
    includes research in mathematical

    [[Page 994]]

    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 NSF'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 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. The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research
    broadens participation of States and regions in science and engineering
    by helping institutions expand their research capacity and
    competitiveness.

        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.

        The Arctic Research Commission 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. 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.
