         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.
         
         The major research program activities of NSF are:
         Biological Sciences._This activity supports understanding how complex living systems function and interact with each other and with non-living
            systems, which has direct impact on issues of national importance related to the environment, economy, agriculture, and human
            welfare. Research in this activity also promotes scientific progress in biology through support of research across scales,
            from molecules, cells, organisms, to ecosystems. This activity's investment portfolio includes projects on understanding the
            changing dynamics of the biosphere, research on the fundamental characteristics of biological energy systems, and efforts
            to broaden participation and develop the next generation of biological researchers.
         
         Computer and Information Science and Engineering._This activity supports investigator initiated research in all areas of computer and information science and engineering, helps
            develop and maintain cutting-edge national computational and information infrastructure for research and education generally,
            and contributes to the education and training of the next generation of computer and computational engineers.
         
         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 activity supports research and associated infrastructure to advance knowledge of the properties and dynamics of the planet
            on which we live. Research includes understanding the causes and implications of climate change, as well as disruptive processes
            such as earthquakes and storms. Additionally, this activity supports Arctic and Antarctic research and operational science
            support and other related activities for United States polar research programs, including the funding to reimburse Federal
            agencies for logistical and other related activities supported by the United States Antarctic Program.
         
         Mathematical and Physical Sciences._Research in this activity is directed at increasing understanding of natural laws and phenomena across the astronomical sciences,
            chemistry, materials sciences, mathematical sciences, and physics. Research support is available in multiple modalities ranging
            from multi-user facilities and mid-scale instrumentation to individual investigator awards, from sites for undergraduate research
            experiences to early career faculty development and collaborative and international efforts.
         
         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 and Integrative Activities._This activity supports emerging cross disciplinary research efforts; major research instrumentation; and promotes an integrated
            strategy for international science and engineering that complements and enhances NSF's broader research and education goals
            and facilitates international collaboration. 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.The United States 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.

         The Education and Human Resources (EHR) appropriation funds and manages a comprehensive set of programs that further NSF's
            goals of ensuring a diverse, globally competitive U.S. science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce,
            as well as a scientifically literate population. To advance those goals, EHR collaborates with other NSF research units, federal
            agencies, and promotes public-private partnerships. EHR supports research on STEM teaching and learning to provide the evidence
            base for improvements in education at all levels in the STEM disciplines. Supporting development and effective implementation
            of new learning technologies is also a priority. EHRs pre-K-12 education-research programs, for example, develop and test
            new instruction materials for students and teachers, which incorporate the latest advances in teaching, learning, and education
            technologies. STEM teacher-education opportunities occur throughout the full continuum, from pre-service and in-service, through
            life-long learning. Research programs at the undergraduate level improve curricula, strengthen laboratory courses, enhance
            faculty effectiveness and lead education reforms in STEM disciplines. Advanced technological education programs strengthen
            student preparation for the high-technology workforce. Support of graduate-level STEM education primarily includes fellowships
            and traineeships to sustain U.S. leadership in global science and technology. All EHR programs aim to broaden participation
            of groups underrepresented in STEM fields by, for example, improving infrastructure and academic programs at minority-serving
            institutions. STEM-education evaluation activities ensure accountability by developing indicators that measure program impact
            and informing the education community of best practices and other relevant findings. EHR activities also include programs
            supported by H-1B non-immigrant visa fees, which provide undergraduate and graduate scholarships in STEM disciplines, improve
            educational opportunities for students, and provide research opportunities for STEM teachers and students.

         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 telescopes, 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.
