At the National Science Foundation, we invest in America's future. Our
support of creative people, innovative ideas, and cutting-edge technologies

Unique among federal research agencies, the National Science Foundation's
mission is to advance learning and discovery in all disciplines
of science and engineering and to foster connections among them.
Our job is to keep science and engineering visionaries focused
on the furthest frontier, to recognize and nurture emerging fields,
to prepare the next generation of scientific talent, and to ensure
that all Americans gain an understanding of what science and technology
have to offer.
