FY
2010 Budget Request
The National Science Foundation is the only federal agency dedicated to the support of basic research and
education across all fields of science and engineering. We explore the frontiers of scientific knowledge
and extend the reach of engineering by encouraging, identifying, and funding the best ideas and most
promising people.
NSF's FY 2010 Budget Request is $7.045 billion, an increase of $555 million (8.5 percent) over the 2009
plan of $6.49 billion. In addition, since investments in science and technology foster economic growth and create high tech,
high-wage jobs, NSF received a one-time appropriation of $3.0 billion from the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009, raising the agency's overall FY 2009 appropriation to $9.49 billion.
The high-risk, potentially transformative investments we make generate important discoveries
and new technology, create and train a dynamic workforce, and spark the curiosity and creativity
of millions. Our investments in research and education help ensure that our Nation remains globally competitive,
prosperous, and secure.
