The Research and Related Activities appropriation enables the United States to provide leadership and promote progress across the expanding frontiers of scientific and engineering research and education.
The major research program activities of NSF are:
Biological Sciences._This activity promotes scientific progress in biology through support of research on all levels, including molecules, cells, organisms, and ecosystems. This activity also supports a comprehensive research initiative on plant genomes, including research on economically significant crops.
Computer and Information Science and Engineering._This activity supports research within and across the many sub-fields of computing, contributing to the education and training of computing professionals and informing the preparation of a U.S. workforce with computing competencies essential to success in an increasingly competitive, global market.
Engineering._Research supported by this activity aims to increase U.S. engineering capability and strength, and focus that capability and strength on areas that are relevant to national problems and long-term needs. This activity also includes small business innovation research.
Geosciences._This activity supports research and associated infrastructure to advance knowledge of the properties and dynamics of the planet on which we live. Research includes understanding the causes and implications of climate change, as well as disruptive processes such as earthquakes and storms.
Mathematical and Physical Sciences._Research in this activity is directed at increasing understanding of natural laws and phenomena across the astronomical sciences, chemistry, materials sciences, mathematical sciences, and physics. This fundamental research provides the long-term underpinnings for advances in areas such as sustainable energy and economic competitiveness.
Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences._This activity supports research, education, and infrastructure in the social, behavioral, cognitive, and economic sciences and funds the collection and dissemination of statistics on the science and engineering enterprise.
Office of International Science and Engineering._This activity promotes an integrated strategy for international science and engineering which complements and enhances NSF's broader research and education goals and which facilitates international collaboration.
U.S. Polar Research Programs._This activity supports Arctic and Antarctic research and operational science support and other related activities for United States polar research programs.
U.S. Antarctic Logistical Support Activities._This activity provides funding to reimburse Federal agencies for logistical and other related activities supported by the United States Antarctic Program.
Integrative Activities._This activity supports emerging cross-disciplinary research efforts and major research instrumentation. This activity also provides support for the Science and Technology Policy Institute. The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research broadens participation of States and regions in science and engineering by helping institutions expand their research capacity and competitiveness.
Office of Cyberinfrastructure._This activity supports research, development, acquisition, and operation of advanced shared and connecting cyberinfrastructure
in support of the Nation's science and engineering research and education community.
The United States Arctic Research Commission promotes Arctic research and recommends national Arctic research policies to guide Federal agencies in developing and implementing
their research programs in the Arctic region.

Education and Human Resources (EHR) activities provide a comprehensive set of programs that further NSF's goal of ensuring a diverse, competitive, and globally engaged U.S. science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce, as well as scientifically literate citizens. At the pre-kindergarten through grade 12 (pre-K-12) levels, EHR catalyzes reform of STEM education through the development of public-private partnerships. Its pre-K-12 programs provide new instructional materials for students and teachers that incorporate the latest advances in teaching, learning, and educational technologies; growth in the knowledge base; and teacher education opportunities that support the full continuum of STEM teacher education from pre-service and in-service, through life-long learning. Undergraduate programs improve curricula, strengthen laboratory course offerings, enhance faculty, and lead reform efforts in STEM disciplines. Programs for advanced technological education strengthen education for students preparing to enter the high-technology workforce. Graduate level support is directed primarily to fellowships and traineeships to sustain the U.S. world leadership in science and technology. All EHR programming focuses on broadening participation of groups underrepresented in STEM fields including activities focused on the improvement of infrastructure and academic programs at minority-serving institutions. EHR supports education research that advances our knowledge of how people learn in the STEM disciplines; it also supports the development and effective implementation of learning technologies. STEM evaluation activities ensure accountability by developing indicators that measure program impact and inform the education community of best practices and relevant information. EHR activities also include programs supported by H-1B non-immigrant visa fees. These programs provide undergraduate and graduate scholarships in STEM fields, improve educational opportunities for students, and support for STEM education by providing research opportunities for STEM teachers and students.
