The Office of Legislative and Public Affairs (OLPA) develops, coordinates
and communicates information about the mission, goals, and policies
of the National Science Foundation. Using mass media and other communications
channels, OLPA publicizes the Foundation's programs, policies, and
activities in science and engineering research and education to specialized
audiences – including Congress, state and local governments, other
Federal agencies, and the research and education communities – and
to the general public.
