This appropriation provides resources for NSF to achieve the following strategic outcomes: Ideas— enabling discovery across the frontier of science and engineering, connected to learning, innovation and service of society; People—development of a diverse, competitive and globally engaged U.S. workforce of scientists, engineers, technologists and well-prepared citizens; and Tools—providing broadly accessible, state-of-the-art science and engineering facilities, tools and other infrastructure that enable discovery, learning and innovation. Research activities will contribute to the achievement of these goals through development of intellectual capital, integration of research and education, and promotion of partnerships. This appropriation supports NSF’s active development of performance indicators. The major research program activities of the Foundation 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. 1081 VerDate Aug 04 2004 00:18 Jan 26, 2005 Jkt 205782 PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 3616 4,334 4,189 Sfmt 3616 E:\BUDGET\NSF.XXX NSF NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION—Continued Federal Funds—Continued 1082 THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2006 General and special funds—Continued RESEARCH Program and Financing (in millions of dollars) AND RELATED ACTIVITIES—Continued Identification code 49–0551–0–1–251 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.

At the pre-kindergarten through grade 12 (pre K-12) level, EHR catalyzes reform of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education through the development of public-private partnerships. Its pre K-12 programs provide new instructional materials and pedagogical techniques that incorporate the latest advances in teaching, learning, and educational technologies. It also supports training activities for pre-service and in-service STEM teachers. 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. The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) broadens participation of States and regions in science and engineering by helping institutions expand their research capacity and competitiveness. EHR supports research that advances STEM 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 undergraduate and graduate scholarships in computer science or other technology and science programs and private-public partnerships in K-12 for STEM education. This appropriation also supports NSF’s active development of performance indicators.
