  2. What does DMS support? • Individual Investigator Awards • Algebra, Number Theory & Combinatorics; Statistics; etc. • CHE-DMR-DMS Solar Energy Initiative (SOLAR), etc. • Workforce • Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) • Proactive Recruitment in Introductory Science and Mathematics (PRISM); etc. • Institutes • ARCC, IAS, IMA, IPAM, MBI, MSRI, SAMSI

  3. FY 2008 Budget (~ $212M)

  4. NSF investment priorities Promote transformational, multidisciplinary research Investigate the human and social dimensions of knowledge and technology Further U.S. economic competitiveness Foster research that improves our ability to live sustainably on Earth Advance fundamental research in computational science and engineering, and in fundamental, applied and interdisciplinary mathematics and statistics

  5. Founding Document of NSF “The Government should accept new responsibilities for promoting the flow of new scientific knowledge and the development of scientific talent in our youth. These responsibilities are the proper concern of the Government, for they vitally affect our health, our jobs, and our national security.” - Vannevar Bush,Science: The Endless Frontier, 1945

  6. NSF in a Nutshell • Integration of research and education • Health, wealth, and stealth • Diversification of the portfolio as an investment philosophy: • Diversity of ideas • Diversity of people • Diversity of institutional types • Diversity of geography
