NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP National Activities

THE NATIONAL SCIENCE BOARD, 2006-2012 Governing Board of the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Policy Advisors to the U.S. President and Congress

Together with the Director, the Board pursues the goals and functions of NSF, including the duty to "recommend and encourage the pursuit of national policies for the promotion of research and education in science and engineering."

In addition, The Board provides oversight for, and establishes the policies of, NSF within the framework of applicable national policies set forth by the President and the Congress, including identifying issues that are critical to NSF’s future, approves NSF’s strategic budget directions for a budget of over $9 billion, approves annual budget submissions to the Office of Management and Budget, approves new programs and major awards, analyzes NSF’s budget to ensure progress and consistency along the strategic direction set for NSF, and ensures balance between initiatives and core programs.

The second role of the Board is to serve as an independent body of advisors to both the President and Congress on broad national policy issues related to science and engineering research and education.

Committee/Task Force/Report Direct Involvement:

• The Committee on Programs and Plans (CPP)—provides guidance and advice on major policy issues related to the NSF research and related activities portfolio, reviews proposals representing a significant expenditure of agency resources, and makes informal recommendations, as appropriate, to the Board for its full consideration and action.

• CPP Task Force on Sustainable Energy (SE) • The Committee on Strategy and Budget (CSB) analyzes the Foundation's budget to

ensure progress and consistency against strategic direction for the Foundation and identifies strategic issues that are critical to NSF's future. The CSB makes recommendations to the full Board for the approval of strategic NSF budget directions and for the approval of the NSF budget submission to OMB.

• Chair, CPP Subcommittee on Facilities assists the Board in strategic budget planning with responsibility for the NSF-funded research equipment and facilities portfolio, including an annual review of the portfolio of all NSF-funded research facilities. The review considers currently operating facilities, as well as those under construction and in early and late-stage planning and provides an assessment of whether existing facilities continue to be the best use of NSF’s limited resources given alternative potential uses of funding for research facilities and individual investigator-led research.
