This appropriation provides resources for NSF to achieve the following outcome goals: discoveries at and across the frontier of science and engineering; connections between discoveries and their use in service to society; a diverse, globally-oriented workforce of scientists and engineers; and relevant, timely information on the national and international science and engineering enterprise. Research activities will contribute to the achievement of these goals through expansion of the knowledge base; integration of research and education; stimulation of knowledge transfer among academia and the public and private sectors; and bringing the perspectives of many disciplines to bear on complex problems important to the nation. This appropriation supports NSF’s active development of performance indicators tied to the key program functions of Research Project Support, Research Facilities, and Education and Training. Program activities in the Research and Related Activities Appropriation, are included in the 21st Century Research Fund. The major research program activities of the Foundation are: Biological sciences.—This activity promotes scientific progress in biology through support of research ranging from 1061 1062 NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION—Continued Federal Funds—Continued THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2000 General and special funds—Continued RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE Program and Financing (in millions of dollars) RELATED ACTIVITIES—Continued 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 sciences 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 which 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 in social, behavioral and economic sciences, facilitates international scientific cooperation, and funds science resources studies. 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. This activity includes funding for the expenses of the Arctic Research Commission. U.S. Antarctic logistical support activities.—This activity provides funding for reimbursing Federal agencies for logistical and other related activities for 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. Object Classification (in millions of dollars) 1998 actual Identification code 49–0100–0–1–999 1999 est. 2000 est.

At the pre-kindergarten through grade 12 (pre K–12) level, EHR catalyzes systemic reform of SMET education in states, cities, school districts, and rural areas. Its pre K–12 programs provide new instructional materials and pedagogical techniques that incorporate the latest advances in teaching, learning, and educational technologies. They provide enrichment activities for teachers and students. Undergraduate initiatives improve curricula in all SMET fields and lead reform efforts in mathematics, chemistry, and other disciplines. EHR programs strengthen laboratory course offerings and enhance faculty. Programs for advanced technological education strengthen education for students preparing to enter the high-technology workforce. Graduate level support is directed primarily to research and education fellowships and traineeships to guarantee the U.S. world leadership in science and technology. All EHR programming focuses on broadening participation of groups underrepresented in SMET fields. The experimental program to stimulate competitive research (EPSCoR) broadens participation of states and regions in science and NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION—Continued Trust Funds NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION engineering. EHR supports research that advances SMET education, as well as development and effective implementation of learning technologies. Evaluation and communications activities ensure accountability by developing indicators that measure program impact and inform the education community of best practices and relevant information. Also included within EHR are funds resulting from the collection and use of H–1B non-immigrant fees, for scholarships, enrichment courses, and systemic reform activities. This appropriation also supports NSF’s active development of performance indicators tied to the key program functions of Education and Training and Research Project Support.
