                       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.
