National Science Foundation •

The National Science Foundation was established by the NSF Act of 1950 (Public Law 81507). NSF adopted the purpose of that Act as its mission: “to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense; and for other purposes.”

•

The agency also supports "high-risk, high pay-off" ideas, novel collaborations and numerous projects that may seem like science fiction today, but which the public will take for granted tomorrow.

•

NSF's job is to determine where the frontiers are, identify the leading U.S. pioneers in these fields and provide money and equipment to help them continue.

•

Scholarships for students, big ticket projects that include an element of research (e.g., changing classroom model to project- or problem-based)
