Contact the NSF Information Center
Photo of Information Center The NSF Reception and Information Center provides a "first stop" for inquiries about the National Science Foundation's programs, offices, staff, and publications. It serves both NSF staff and visitors.

The Reception and Information Center fields a variety of inquiries by telephone and by e-mail regarding NSF program information, NSF vacancy information, NSF staff location, meeting schedules, and information regarding location of operational and program guidelines. In many cases, the Center is able to respond directly with the answer. When they do not have the answer themselves, the Center serves as a referral service to the relevant NSF Office or other information resource.

Copies of many NSF publications are available to visitors in an area adjacent to the Reception Desk.

The Center is located at the main entrance, one block south of the Ballston-Marymount University Metro Station on the orange line (N. Stuart Street between Fairfax Drive and Wilson Blvd.), on the first floor. Their phone number is 703-292-5111; they can also be reached by email at info@nsf.gov. TDD users may call 703-292-5090 or 800-281-8749.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FUNDING: WHAT DOES NSF FUND AND HOW?

The Information Center staff can refer you to an appropriate NSF staff person or program officer at NSF who can advise you on how best to approach NSF with your funding proposal. Before contacting NSF, you may find it helpful to review one of the following guides to determine whether your proposal would be appropriate for consideration by the National Science Foundation:

HOMEWORK HELP?

In most cases, the NSF is unable to provide assistance to students looking for help with science and engineering-related homework or school assignments. We recommend utilizing one of the many world wide web search engines or asking your local reference librarian for assistance.

Some interesting links about science, and information especially for students can be found on our student interests page. Students looking for information about science and engineering statistics will find important reference information on the web site of NSF's Science Resources Statistics Division. Information about NSF's history, and NSF's celebration of its 50th anniversary in the year 2000, can be found by clicking on the home page link near the footer, or going directly to the NSF 50th Anniversary web site.
