The NSF Vision
The National Science Foundation is a catalyst for progress through investment
in science, mathematics and engineering. Guided by its longstanding commitment
to the highest standards of excellence in the support of discovery and
learning, NSF pledges to provide the stewardship necessary to sustain
and strengthen the Nation’s science, mathematics and engineering capabilities
and to promote the use of those capabilities in service to society.
NSF is confident in the power of its connections and partnerships to
deliver the greatest return on this investment. It will exercise leadership
in strengthening linkages among the many individuals, institutions, and
organizations that are committed to progress in research and education.
It will also dedicate itself to fostering the natural connections between
processes of learning and discovery.
At the core of this vision is a dynamic and diverse community of researchers,
educators, and institutions who work in partnership with NSF. This community
shares with NSF a commitment to discovery and learning, to enhancing the
Nation’s capacity for excellence in research and education, and to the
use of science, mathematics, and engineering for the betterment of humanity.
