What is NSF?
Is an Independent Agency of the Federal Government
Was established in 1950 to promote and advance scientific progress in the United States by sponsoring scientific research and by supporting selected activities in science and engineering
Does not conduct research itself

The ANIR process
Goal = Fund proposals! Solicit proposals through program
announcements IDEAL --Fund Most? They are thoughtfully
and carefully prepared and most should be funded
REAL –limited funds –use a peer review process – choose some
______________MORE FUNDS => FUND MORE
PROPOSALS
Tempe-Feb 2000 14
FY 2001 NSF REQUEST
NSF = $ 4,600M CISE = $529 M ANIR =$68.7 M I= $45.4M
– I= $45.4M– R = $23.3M
