The National Science Foundation maintains two overseas offices, one in Tokyo, and one in Paris.

The NSF Tokyo Regional Office monitors developments of interest to NSF in Japan and elsewhere in the East Asia and Pacific region and supports the implementation of cooperative programs between NSF and its counterpart organizations in the region. Options accessible through their website provide information about East Asian and Pacific institutions relevant to NSF's mission, as well as information on opportunities for research and education in the region. The Office prepares, solicits and reproduces several types of reports primarily for the use of NSF management and staff which it also makes more widely available by electronic means. These include policy relevant reports on significant science-and technology-related events and trends in Japan and other East Asian countries, special scientific reports on research development related to NSF’s mission, and reports prepared by NSF’s AWARE program award recipients relevant to the region.
