La '''National Science Foundation''' ('''NSF''') è un'[[agenzia (diritto pubblico)|agenzia governativa]] degli [[Stati Uniti]] che sostiene la ricerca e la formazione di base in tutti i campi non-medici della scienza e dell'ingegneria. La controparte medica sono invece i [[National Institutes of Health]].
 
Con un budget annuale di circa 6,0287 miliardi di [[dollaro statunitense|dollari]] (esercizio fiscale 20082010), l'NSF costituisce circa il 20% dei fondi federali che sostengono la ricerca di base condotta dai college e dalle università statunitensi. In alcuni campi, quali la matematica, l'informatica, l'economia e le scienze sociali, l'NSF è maggior la maggior fonte di fondi federali.
 
Il direttore dell'NSF, il relativo direttore di delegatovicedirettore ed i 24 membri del ''National Science Board'' (''NSB'')<ref>[https://www.nsf.gov/nsb/ National Science Board (NSB)]</ref> sono nominati dal [[presidente degli Stati Uniti]] e confermati dal [[Senato degli Stati Uniti]]. Il direttore ed il direttore di delegatovicedirettore sono responsabili della gestione, della progettazioneprogrammazione, del budget e dei funzionamentidell'attività giorno-per-giornooperativa della fondazione, mentre l'NSB si riunisce sei volte l'anno e stabilisce le relative politiche generali.
 
L'attuale direttore del NSF è France A. Córdova, in carica dal Marzo 2014.<ref>[https://www.nsf.gov/staff/staff_list.jsp?orgId=57&from_org= NSF: Staff Directory]</ref>
Il direttore corrente del NSF è il dott. [[Arden L. Bement Jr]] ed il direttore di delegato corrente è il dott. [[Kathie L. Olsen]].
 
==Campo d'azione e organizzazione==
La forza lavoro della NSF ammonta a circa 1700 persone, quasi tutte impiegate presso le sedi di [[Arlington (Virginia)|Arlington]], nello stato della [[Virginia]]. Tra queste, circa 1200 sono impiegati in carriera, 150 sono ricercatori a tempo determinato provenienti da istituti di ricerca, 200 impiegati a contratto, e il personale dell'ufficio del ''National Science Board'' e dell<nowiki>'</nowiki>''Office of the Inspector General'', che esamina l'operato della fondazione, mettendone al corrente l'NSB e il [[Congresso degli Stati Uniti d''Congress''America]].
 
===Direttorati di ricerca===
La NSF organizza il proprio supporto alla ricerca e alla formazione attraverso sette direttorati (''directorates''), ciascuno dei quali comprende diverse discipline:
*'''[httphttps://www.nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=BIO Scienze Biologiche]''' ([[biologia]] molecolare, cellulare e organismica, [[scienze ambientali]])

==Note==
==Grants and the merit review process==
<references/>
Although many other federal research agencies operate their own laboratories—notable examples being the [[National Aeronautics and Space Administration]] (NASA) and the [[National Institutes of Health]] (NIH)—NSF does not. Instead, it seeks to fulfill its mission chiefly by issuing competitive, limited-term grants in response to specific proposals from the research community. (NSF also makes some contracts.) Some proposals are solicited, and some are not; NSF funds both kinds.
 
== Altri progetti ==
NSF receives about 40,000 such proposals each year, and funds about 10,000 of them. Those funded are typically the projects that are ranked highest in a [http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/1999/nsf99172/nsf99172.htm merit review] process. These reviews are carried out by panels of independent scientists, engineers and educators who are experts in the relevant fields of study, and who are selected by NSF with particular attention to avoiding conflicts of interest. (For example, the reviewers cannot work at NSF itself, nor for the institution that employs the proposing researchers.) All proposal evaluations are confidential.
{{interprogetto}}
 
Most NSF grants go to individuals or small groups of investigators who carry out research at their home campuses. Other grants provide funding for mid-scale research centers, instruments and facilities that serve researchers from many institutions. Still others fund national-scale facilities that are shared by the research community as a whole. Examples of national facilities include NSF’s national observatories, with their giant optical and radio telescopes; its [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] research sites; its high-end computer facilities and ultra-high-speed network connections; the ships and submersibles used for ocean research; and its gravitational wave observatories.
 
In addition to researchers and research facilities, NSF grants also support science, engineering and mathematics education from pre-K through graduate school. Undergraduates can receive funding through [[Research Experiences for Undergraduates|REU]] summer programs.<ref>[http://www.igert.org/summer.asp NSF: Summer Research]</ref> Graduate students are supported through IGERT (Integrative Graduate Education Research Traineeships)<ref>[http://www.igert.org/programs.asp NSF: IGERT Programs]</ref> and AGEP (Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate) programs<ref>[http://www.agep.us NSF: AGEP Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate]</ref> and through the Graduate Research Fellowships, [[NSF-GRF]]. An early career-development program (CAREER) supports teacher-scholars that most effectively integrate research and education within the mission of their organization, as a foundation for a lifetime of integrated contributions.<ref>[http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5262&org=NSF nsf.gov - Funding - Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program - US National Science Foundation (NSF)]</ref>

==History and mission==
The NSF was established by the [http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/uscode42/usc_sup_01_42_10_16.html National Science Foundation Act] of 1950. Its [http://www.nsf.gov/about/glance.jsp stated mission]:
:''To promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; and to secure the national defense.''
 
Some historians of science have argued that the result was an unsatisfactory compromise between too many clashing visions of the purpose and scope of the federal government.<ref>David M. Hart, ''The Forged Consensus: Science, Technology, and Economic Policy in the United States, 1921–1953'' (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1998).</ref> NSF was certainly not ''the'' primary government agency for the funding of basic science, as its supporters had originally envisioned in the aftermath of [[World War II]]. By 1950, support for major areas of research had already become dominated by specialized agencies such as the [[National Institutes of Health]] (medical research) and the [[United States Atomic Energy Commission|U.S. Atomic Energy Commission]] (nuclear and particle physics). That pattern would continue after 1957, when U.S. anxiety over the launch of [[Sputnik]] led to the creation of the [[National Aeronautics and Space Administration]] (space science) and the [[Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency]] (defense-related research).
 
Nonetheless, NSF's scope has expanded over the years to include many areas that were not in its initial portfolio, including the social and behavioral sciences, engineering, and science and mathematics education. Today, as described in its 2003–2008 [http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf04201 strategic plan], NSF is the only U. S. federal agency with a mandate to support ''all'' the non-medical fields of research.
 
In the process, moreover, the foundation has come to enjoy strong bipartisan support from Congress. Especially after the technology boom of the 1980s, both sides of the aisle have generally embraced the notion that government-funded basic research is essential for the nation's economic health and global competitiveness, as well as for the national defense. That support has manifested itself in an expanding budget—from $1 billion in 1983 to just over $6.02 billion by FY 2008. ([http://www.nsf.gov/about/congress/ fiscal year 2007]).
 
===Timeline===
; Pre-World War II : Academic research in science and engineering is not considered a federal responsibility; almost all support comes from private contributions and charitable foundations.
; World War II : There is a growing awareness that America's military capability owes a great deal to the nation's strength in science and engineering. Congress considers several proposals to provide federal support for research in these fields.
; 1945 : [[Vannevar Bush]], head of the government's wartime Office of Scientific Research and Development, issues a report to President [[Harry S. Truman]], entitled ''[http://www.nsf.gov/about/history/vbush1945.htm Science—The Endless Frontier.]'' The report lays out a strong case for having the federal government fund scientific research, arguing that the nation would reap rich dividends in the form of better health care, a more vigorous economy, and a stronger national defense. The report also proposes creating a new federal agency, the "National Research Foundation," to administer this effort.
; 1945–1950 : Although there is broad agreement in Washington with the principle of federal support for science, there is far less agreement on exactly how that effort should be organized and managed. Thrashing out a consensus requires five years of negotiation and compromise.<ref>George T. Mazuzan, "The National Science Foundation: A Brief History" ([http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/stis1994/nsf8816/nsf8816.txt NSF Publication nsf8816]).</ref>
; 1950 : On May 10, President Truman signs Public Law 507, creating the National Science Foundation. The act provides for a National Science Board of twenty-four part-time members and a director as chief executive officer, all appointed by the president.
; 1951 : In early March, Truman nominates [[Alan T. Waterman]], the chief scientist at the [[Office of Naval Research]], to become the first Director of the fledgling agency. With the Korean War underway, money is tight: the agency's initial budget is just $151,000.
; 1952 : After moving its administrative offices twice, NSF begins its first full year of operations with an appropriation from Congress of just $3.5 million, a figure far less the almost $33.5 million requested. Twenty-eight research grants are awarded.
; 1957 : On October 5, the Soviet Union orbits [[Sputnik 1]], the first ever man-made satellite. The successful rocket launch forces a national self-appraisal that questions American education, scientific, technical and industrial strength. For 1959, Congress increases the NSF appropriation to $134 million, nearly $100 million higher than the year before. By 1968, the NSF budget will stand at nearly $500 million.
; 1958 : NSF selects [[Kitt Peak]], near [[Tucson, Arizona]], as the site of the first national observatory, a research center that would make state-of-the-art telescopes available to every astronomer in the nation. (Prior to this time, there was no equal access; major research telescopes were privately funded, and were available only to the astronomers who taught at the universities that ran them.) Today, that idea has expanded to encompass the [[National Optical Astronomy Observatory]], the [[National Radio Astronomy Observatory]], the [[National Solar Observatory]], the [[Gemini Observatory]] and the [[Arecibo Observatory]], all of which are funded in whole or in part by NSF. Along the way, moreover, NSF's astronomy program has forged a close working relationship with that of NASA, which was also founded in 1958: just as NASA has responsibility for the U. S. effort in space-based astronomy, NSF provides virtually all the U. S. federal support for ground-based astronomy.
; 1959 : The United States and other nations operating in [[Antarctica]] conclude a treaty that reserves the continent for peaceful and scientific research. Shortly thereafter, a presidential directive based on the treaty gives NSF the responsibility for virtually all U.S. operations and research on the continent; the U.S. Antarctic Program continues to this day.
; 1960 : Emphasis on international scientific and technological competition further accelerates NSF growth. The Foundation starts the Institutional Support Program, a capital funding program designed to build a research infrastructure among American universities; it will be the single largest beneficiary of NSF budget growth in the 1960s. NSF's appropriation is $152.7 million; 2,000 grants are made.
; 1968 : The Deep Sea Drilling Project begins. Over the years, the project reveals much new evidence about the theories of continental drift, sea floor spreading and the general usefulness of the ocean basins. The program also becomes a model of international cooperation as several foreign countries join the operation.
; 1972 : NSF takes over management of twelve interdisciplinary materials research laboratories from the Defense Department's [[Advanced Research Projects Agency]] (DARPA). These university-based laboratories had taken a more integrated approach than did most academic departments at the time, encouraging physicists, chemists, engineers, and metallurgists to cross departmental boundaries and use systems approaches to attack complex problems of materials synthesis or processing. NSF begins to expand these laboratories into a nationwide network of [[Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers]].
1972 : NSF launched the biennial Science & Engineering Indicators report to the President of the United States and U.S. Congress. Founded in 1968 as a research institution in bibliometrics and patent analytics ipIQ dba The Patent Board has provided patent indicators and science literature analysis since the intitial report in 1972.
; 1977 : The first "[[Internet]]" is developed. This interconnection of unrelated networks is run by [[DARPA]]. Over the next decade, increasing NSF involvement leads to a three-tiered system of internetworks managed by a mix of universities, nonprofit organizations and government agencies. By the mid-1980s, primary financial support for the growing project is assumed by the NSF.<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_nsfnet.htm NSFNET, National Science Foundation Network]</ref>
; 1983 : The agency budget tops $1 billion for the first time. Major increases in the nation's research budget are proposed as the country recognizes the importance of research in science and technology, as well as education. A separate appropriation is established for the U.S. [http://www.nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=OPP Antarctic Program]. NSF receives more than 27,000 proposals and funds more than 12,000 of them.
; 1985 : In November NSF delivers ozone sensors, along with balloons and helium, to researchers at the South Pole so they can measure stratospheric ozone loss. The action is taken in response to findings made in May of that year, indicating a steep drop in ozone over a period of several years. The Internet project, now known as [[NSFNET]], continues.
; 1990 : NSF's appropriation passes $2 billion for the first time.
; 1990s : NSF funds the development of several curricula based on the [[NCTM standards]], devised by the [http://www.nctm.org/ National Council of Teachers of Mathematics]. These standards are widely adopted by school districts during the subsequent decade. However, in what newspapers such as the [[Wall Street Journal]] later call the "math wars", organizations such as [[Mathematically Correct]] complain that some elementary texts based on the standards, including [[Mathland]], have almost entirely abandoned any instruction of traditional arithmetic in favor of cutting, coloring, pasting, and writing. During that debate, NSF is both lauded and criticized for favoring the standards.
; 1991 : In March, the NSFNET acceptable use policy is altered to allow commercial traffic. By 1995, with the private, commercial market thriving, NSF decommissions the NSFNET, allowing for public use of the Internet.
; 1993 : Students and staff working at the NSF-supported [[National Center for Supercomputing Applications]] (NCSA) at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, develop [[Mosaic (web browser)|Mosaic]], the first freely available browser to allow [[World Wide Web]] pages that include both graphics and text. Within 18 months, NCSA Mosaic becomes the Web browser of choice for more than a million users, and sets off an exponential growth in the number of Web users.
; 1994 : NSF, together with NASA and DARPA, launches the [http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/cyber/digitallibraries.jsp Digital Library Initiative]. One of the first six grants goes to [[Stanford University]], where two graduate students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, begin to develop a search engine that uses the links between Web pages as a ranking method. They will later commercialize their search engine under the name [[Google]].
; 1996 : NSF-funded research establishes beyond doubt that the chemistry of the atmosphere above Antarctica is grossly abnormal and that levels of key chlorine compounds are greatly elevated. During two months of intense work, NSF researchers learn most of what we know today about the ozone hole.
; 1998 : Two independent teams of NSF-supported astronomers discover that the expansion of the universe is actually speeding up, as if some previously unknown force, now known as [[dark energy]], is driving the galaxies apart at an ever increasing rate.
; 2000 : NSF joins with other federal agencies in the National Nanotechnology Initiative, dedicated to the understanding and control of matter at the atomic and molecular scale. Today, NSF's roughly $300 million annual investment in nanotechnology research is still one of the largest in the 23-agency initiative.
; 2001 : NSF's appropriation passes $4 billion.
 
:The NSF's Survey of Public Attitudes Toward and Understanding of Science and Technology reveals that the public has a positive attitude toward science but a poor understanding of it.<ref>[http://nsf.gov/statistics/survey.cfm nsf.gov - SRS Survey Descriptions - US National Science Foundation (NSF)]</ref>
 
; 2004–5 : NSF sends "rapid response" research teams to investigate the aftermath of the [http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/tsunami/index.jsp Indian Ocean Tsunami] and [http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=104474 Hurricane Katrina]. An NSF-funded engineering team helps uncover why the levees failed in [[New Orleans]].
; 2005 : NSF's budget stands at just over $5.6 billion.
; 2006 : NSF's budget stands at $5.91 billion for the 2007 fiscal year that began on October 1, 2006 and runs through September 30, 2007.
; 2007 : NSF requests $6.43 billion dollars for FY 2008. ([http://www.nsf.gov/about/budget/ NSF Budgets]).
 
==Public attitudes and understanding==
NSF surveys of public attitudes and knowledge have consistently shown that the public has a positive view of science but has little scientific understanding. The greatest deficit remains the public's understanding of the [[scientific method]].<ref>[http://nsf.gov/statistics/seind06/c7/c7s1.htm S&E Indicators 2006 - Chapter 7: Science and Technology: Public Attitudes and Understanding - Information Sources, Interest, and Perceived Knowledge]</ref>
