Many observers have noted that the story of NSF is one of many different balancing acts: Science and Engineering Research and Education People and Instrumentation and Facilities The key to NSF’s success over the years is its ability to develop a balanced portfolio that embraces all of these activities. Over the years, many have viewed these activities as being in competition with each other. In reality, they are vital to each other. Nowhere is that more evident than in the first – in the interplay of science and engineering...
