The National Science Foundation (NSF) is
a U.S. government agency responsible for promoting basic
research and education in
science and engineering. International activities are supported
throughout the NSF portfolio. NSF typically makes awards to U.S.
academic institutions, which retain all intellectual property rights.
NSF conducts no research of its own.
The Foundation's Office of International
Science and Engineering (OISE) maintains a leadership role
in promoting and coordinating international cooperation, and
manages the NSF Beijing Office, as well as two other
overseas offices in Tokyo and Paris.
The NSF Beijing Office has three major roles:
