About NSF:
What do camcorders, magnetic resonance imaging 
(MRI), Doppler radar, and the Internet have in common?  Beyond the fact that they 
have enriched people's lives, these innovations are the result of public

Science Foundation.



Created in 1950, NSF is an independent U.S. government agency responsible for 
advancing science and engineering in the United States across a broad and 
expanding frontier.  NSF makes merit-based grants and cooperative agreements and 
provides other forms of support to educators and researchers in all fifty states

large measure on today's investments in science, engineering and mathematics 
research and education.  NSF investments - in people, in their ideas, and in the 
tools they use - will catalyze the strong progress in science and engineering 
needed to secure the Nation's future.  Click here for more about NSF.
