NSF's role in achieving
performance goals in science and engineering leads to investments in integrative
research and human capital activities to enhance the potential for important
discoveries or new knowledge with expected future benefits to our society.
Because of the close connections between the investments in performing
research and building a research base of skilled scientists and engineers
through academic and training opportunities, expenses incurred by NSF
are presented as overall stewardship investments for NSF for performance
measurement. The outputs and outcomes of NSF investments in the research
and academic community resulted in a number of grants awarded and scientists
and students supported.
