The Task Force
on the Environment was established in August 1998 to assist the
Foundation in defining the scope of its role with respect to environmental
research, education, and assessment, and in determining the best
means of implementing activities related to this area (NSB-98-161).
The Task Force was discharged May 4, 2000.
The Task Force was charged with:
|
Reviewing the scope of current NSF activities related to research, education,
and assessment on the environment;
|
|
Developing guidance for the National Science Foundation at the policy level
that will be used for designing an appropriate portfolio of activities, consistent
with the overall NSTC
strategy, the goals of the 1995 NSF Strategic Plan (NSF 95-24, NSF in a Changing World), and activities
of other agencies and organizations that support related programs.
