This appropriation represents the National Science Foundation’s (NSF’s) primary contribution to the President’s American Competitiveness Initiative. This appropriation provides resources for 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 on all levels, including molecules, cells, organisms, and 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 Sfmt 3616 E:\BUDGET\NSF.XXX NSF 1091 1092 THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2009 Federal Funds—Continued RESEARCH AND 1001 RELATED ACTIVITIES—Continued 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 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 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.

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 inservice, 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.
