National Science Foundation
NSF's annual budget currently exceeds $3 billion, more than 96 percent of which goes directly to institutions for research and education programs. The agency actively collaborates with universities, state governments, and other federal agencies, businesses, private foundations, community and civic groups, and international agencies on a broad range of research and education projects in science, mathematics, and engineering.
NSF's mandate to ensure the vitality of the nation's scientific enterprise includes concern for the composition, distribution, and effectiveness of the human resource base in the sciences, engineering, and mathematics (SEM). Within this context, the foundation is committed to enhancing the current rate of participation of women and girls in science, mathematics, and engineering education and careers, in general, and as active participants in all of its programs. NSF considers unsolicited research proposals from qualified investigators for support of research in any NSF-supported field of science, mathematics, engineering, and education and strongly encourages applications from women. NSF offers the following opportunities in addition to its disciplinary programs.
When making a request, please include NSF publication number, number of copies, and your complete mailing address.
