through grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements. The Foundation
accounts for about 20 percent of federal support to academic institutions
for basic research.

MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE AWARDS
AND CENTERS
Major support for science and engineering infrastructure, including
support for science and technology centers, and support
for polar research, is provided through several important NSF programs. More
information is available about these programs on the home page
of the Office of Integrative Activities, on the NSF's external
links page, and the home page of the Office of
Polar Programs.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The NSF budget request documents proposed spending by the NSF
for research and education.
Publications such as Science
and Engineering Indicators,
and information in the Statistics area of our website help put
U.S. investment in research and education through National Science
Foundation programs in national and international perspective.
