NSF conducts - with full Congressional approval and participation - a comprehensive
portfolio of educational programs that responds at all levels to the mandate of
the Science and Engineering Equal Opportunity Act to assist the United States
in the "full development and use of the science and engineering talents of
men and women, equally, of all ethnic, racial, and economic backgrounds,"
as well as those talents of persons with disabilities. 42 U.S.C. §1885, et
