National Science Foundation NSF-NAC 09/16/2017 National Science Foundation NSF is the primary federal agency that funds basic research in the non-medical sciences Created by Congress in 1950 “to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense.” NSF annual budget was $7.45 billion in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017. Funding source for 24 percent of all federally supported basic research conducted by U.S. colleges and universities. Division of Astronomical Sciences (AST), within the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS), has a budget of $246.2 million in FY 2017. This is slightly less than 0.01 percent of the U.S. federal budget. AST is the primary federal funding source for ground-based astronomy. DOE funds research that utilizes ground-based astronomical sensors, and often collaborates with NSF (AST and Division of Physics) in astrophysics-related programs. NASA is the primary federal funding source for space-based astronomy (also involving collaborations with DOE). 09/16/2017 NAC/NSF Jim Ulvestad

NSF’s 10 “Big Ideas” for Future Investment NSF-NAC 09/16/2017 NSF’s 10 “Big Ideas” for Future Investment RESEARCH IDEAS Windows on the Universe: The Era of Multi-messenger Astrophysics The Quantum Leap: Leading the Next Quantum Revolution Navigating the New Arctic Understanding the Rules of Life: Predicting Phenotype PROCESS IDEAS Mid-scale Research Infrastructure Growing Convergence Research at NSF NSF 2026 NSF INCLUDES: Enhancing STEM through Diversity and Inclusion Harnessing Data for 21st Century Science and Engineering Work at the Human-Technology Frontier: Shaping the Future 09/16/2017 NAC/NSF Jim Ulvestad

NSF INCLUDES Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science Comprehensive initiative to enhance U.S. leadership in science and engineering by seeking and developing STEM talent from all sectors and groups in our society Long-term goal Support innovative models, networks, partnerships, and research that enable the U.S. science and engineering workforce to thrive by ensuring that all groups are represented in percentages comparable to their representation in the U.S. population FY 2016: NSF 16-544, 16-081, $14.0M FY 2017: NSF 17-522, $14M FY 2018: NSF 17-591, $14.9M Comprehensive initiative to have IMPACT at SCALE in BP

NSF INCLUDES National Network PILOTS ALLIANCE This is another perspective on backbone orgs and that because of the complexity, we will have a DCL to have the field contribute to the vision for the NSF INCLUDES backbone Mini-backbone to support each Alliance National Backbone to support the Network of Alliances (INCLUDES National Network) INCLUDES Coordination Hub Shared data, knowledge, best practices On-ramp mechanisms Monitor progress at national level Turner, Merchant, Kania & Martin, 2012.

Three Essential Components of NSF INCLUDES NSF-NAC 09/16/2017 Three Essential Components of NSF INCLUDES INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilots. $300K over two years 37 launch pilots funded in first call, announced September 2016 27 more pilots announced September 11, 2017 INCLUDES Alliances INCLUDES Coordination Hub to be funded in FY 2018 Solicitation NSF 17-591 Up to $2.5 million in first year, $10.5 million over 5 years 09/16/2017 NAC/NSF Jim Ulvestad

AST Broadening Participation Programs NSF-NAC 09/16/2017 AST Broadening Participation Programs Partnerships in Astronomy and Astrophysics Research and Education (PAARE): $1-2 million/yr Partnerships between Minority-Serving Institutions and research institutions, including academic institutions, private observatories, and AST-supported facilities PAARE has funded programs at SCSU/Clemson, CUNY/AMNH/Columbia, Fisk/Vanderbilt, CP Pomona/CSU/UC/nationwide, CSUF/Syracuse, Tenn State/UCB Scientific Exploration Beneath the Life-Bringing Sun (DKIST cultural mitigation); pipeline for Native Hawaiian STEM students: $2 million/yr Research Experiences for Undergraduates: $2 million/yr Most sites have specific goals for broadening participation Education and Special Programs (one-off proposals). Examples: Akamai Workforce Initiative, and follow-ons Columbia Bridge Program Also, NSF-wide programs include AGEP (Alliances in Graduate Education for the Professoriate) supplements for graduate students from underrepresented groups 09/16/2017 NAC/NSF Jim Ulvestad
