Excerpt
Introduction: This is NSF’s second GPRA performance plan. It is based on NSF’s GPRA strategic plan, submitted to Congress in September, 1997, and the FY 1999 performance plan. The mission, outcome goals, and critical factors for success from the strategic plan are outlined below. Mission: NSF’s continuing mission is set out in the preamble to the National Science Foundation Act of 1950 (Public Law 810507): To promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense; and for other purposes. The Act authorizes and directs NSF to initiate and support: // basic scientific research and research fundamental to the engineering process, // programs to strengthen scientific and engineering research potential, // science and engineering education programs at all levels and in all the various fields of science and engineering, // an information base for science and engineering appropriate for development of national and international policy. NSF carries out its mission primarily by making merit-based grants and cooperative agreements to individual researchers and groups, in partnership with colleges, universities, and other institutions -- public, private, state, local, and federal -- throughout the U.S.
