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 impacts on issues related to the economy, food, human welfare, and the environment. Research in
this activity crosses scales from molecules to cells through organisms to ecosystems. This activity's investment portfolio
includes projects on understanding the fundamental characteristics of biological energy systems; the changing dynamics of
the biosphere; infrastructure and research resources such as databases, research centers, and observatories; and efforts to
broaden participation and develop the next generation of biological researchers.
Computer and Information Science and Engineering.—This activity promotes the progress of computer and information science and engineering research and education, and advances
the development and use of advanced cyberinfrastructure across the science and engineering research enterprise; promotes understanding
of the principles and uses of computing and information technology in society; and contributes to universal, transparent,
and affordable participation in a knowledge-based economy.
Engineering.—Research supported by this activity aims to increase and strengthen U.S. engineering capability and focus that capability
on areas that are relevant to national problems and long-term needs.
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 earth system dynamics, as well as
disruptive processes such as earthquakes and storms.
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 Science and Engineering (OISE).—This activity serves as the focal point of international activities at NSF. In addition to strategic funding and co-funding
that targets catalytic partnerships and workforce-building international research opportunities, OISE advances NSF's global
science leadership through extensive interactions with U.S. and global counterpart agencies and organizations.
Office of Polar Programs.—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.
Integrative Activities.—This activity supports innovative, transdisciplinary team science, advanced research infrastructure, use-inspired research,
and emerging national research priorities. Integrative Activities supports jurisdictional and institutional capacity-building
programs helping universities expand their research capacity and improve competitiveness in science and engineering research.
Additionally, Integrative Activities funding supports activities that expand NSF's capacity to use evidence for decision making.
This activity provides support for a federally funded Research and Development Center, the Science and Technology Policy Institute.
Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships.—This new activity catalyzes strategic partnerships linking academia, industry, government, nonprofits, civil society, and
investors to cultivate twenty-first-century innovation ecosystems, advancing U.S. leadership in critical technologies as well
as in addressing national and societal challenges. Working in close collaboration with all of the above activities, this activity
advances science and engineering innovation addressing societal challenges, accelerates the translation of fundamental discoveries
into breakthrough technologies, and creates education pathways and jobs for a diverse workforce of researchers, practitioners,
and entrepreneurs. This activity also includes Small Business Innovation Research, Small Business Technology Transfer, Innovation
Corps, Partnerships for Innovation, and Convergence Accelerators.
The United States Arctic Research Commission (USARC) is an independent agency, funded through NSF's appropriations. USARC 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 and
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. EHR's 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. 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.
