NSF FY 2022 Budget Request to CongressThe National Science Foundation Act of 1950 (Public Law 81-507) sets forth ourmission: “To promote the progress of science; to advance the national health,prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense.”NSF is unique in carrying out its mission by supporting research across allfields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and all levels ofSTEM education. NSF investments are critical to the economic and nationalsecurity interests of the nation and development of a future-focused scienceand engineering workforce that draws on the talents of all Americans.Last year, NSF celebrated its 70th anniversary. Over the past seven decades,NSF has funded research and researchers, innovations and innovators, and world-class infrastructure thathave garnered incredible benefits to the nation. The Internet, Google, Qualcomm, 3D printing, the economictheory underpinning spectrum auctioning and kidney exchanges, and even the polymerase chain reaction(PCR) testing technique that has been critical in the fight against COVID-19 are all examples of theoutcomes and benefits of NSF investments. Many of the technologies and industries that are the focus ofnational conversations around competitiveness today, including artificial intelligence, quantum informationscience, advanced manufacturing, advanced wireless, and biotechnology, to name a few, are rooted insustained NSF support for research at the frontiers of science and engineering.As NSF looks to the future, the agency’s capacity to continue to produce breakthroughs, to innovate, toidentify the industries that we cannot even imagine today, to accelerate the translation of research results topractice, and to cultivate the diverse workforce needed to power our country forward, all must bestrengthened at speed and scale. NSF has the know-how and energy to create a brighter future for our Nationand is guided by the Director’s vision expressed in three pillars that point to opportunities that we mustseize:1. Advancing the frontiers of research into the future2. Ensuring accessibility and inclusivity3. Securing global leadership in science and technologyThese pillars support the Administration’s priorities for the FY 2022 request to Congress to enhancefundamental research and development, improve equity in science and engineering, advance climatescience and sustainability research, continue construction of forefront research infrastructure. Thesepriorities, expanded on below, dovetail precisely with the Director’s pillars and are addressed by NSFinvestments at all potential funding levels, appearing repeatedly in the broad portfolio of fundamentalresearch that is the heart of NSF’s mission. They animate new and expanded efforts and they connectexisting efforts throughout the portfolio of research programs.Enhances Fundamental Research and DevelopmentThe FY 2022 request to Congress provides 9.43 billion, an increase of 1.55 billion above the FY 2021enacted level, to support research across the spectrum of science, engineering and technology, includingbiological sciences; computer and information sciences; engineering; geosciences; math and physicalsciences; social, behavioral, and economic sciences; and education. With this additional funding, NSF willcontinue to be the champion of basic and fundamental research and will strengthen it at speed and scale.Overview - 1

OverviewStrengthens U.S. Leadership in Emerging TechnologiesWe are currently facing a defining moment for the Nation. Global competition for leadership and talent inscience, engineering and technology is at an all-time high, inspiring and motivating us to accelerate ourprogress to be in the vanguard of discovery and innovation. For the United States to remain a global leader,we must recommit to investing in breakthrough technologies and innovation, fostering partnerships, andnurturing talent, thereby encouraging the innovative spirit that has been the source of our leadership overthe past seven decades.On March 31, the Administration released the American Jobs Plan, which will create millions of good jobs,rebuild our country’s infrastructure, and position the United States for the future. As part of that proposal,the Administration proposes investing 50 billion over eight years in a new directorate for technology atNSF that will collaborate with and build on existing programs across the government. This directorate willclosely collaborate with all of NSF’s other directorates and offices, as well as with other stakeholders in theNation’s research, innovation, and education enterprise, to advance science and engineering research andinnovation leading to breakthrough technologies as well as solutions to national and societal challenges,sustaining and enhancing U.S. competitiveness on a global stage; accelerate the translation of fundamentaldiscoveries from lab to market, advancing the U.S. economy; and create education pathways for everyAmerican to pursue new, high-wage jobs, supporting a diverse workforce of researchers, practitioners, andentrepreneurs.The creation of this new Directorate for Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) will allow theagency to continue to support innovation across all disciplines of science and engineering, at the speed thatis required in today’s rapidly changing landscape.Advances Equity in Science and EngineeringThe FY 2022 Request to Congress seeks 100 million, roughly a 50 percent increase, in funding forprograms that aim to increase participation in science and engineering of individuals from racial and ethnicgroups underrepresented in these fields. Funding will support curriculum design, research on successfulrecruitment and retention methods, development of outreach or mentorship programs, fellowships, andbuilding science and engineering research and education capacity at HBCUs and other minority-servinginstitutions. Additionally, through the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR),funded separately, NSF looks to enhance research competitiveness of targeted jurisdictions (states,territories, commonwealth) by strengthening STEM capacity and capability. These STEM-relatedopportunities are building capacity and infrastructure across the nation, seeding and nurturing innovationclusters with stronger economic outcomes and good quality jobs.NSF is investing in education research across all levels of learning—from preK-12 through graduateeducation and beyond—which then informs education and training programs to better develop skill sets incutting-edge technologies, promote highly collaborative team science, and foster greater diversity in theworkforce. NSF will continue to invest robustly across its suite of broadening participation programs. Indoing so, NSF will work tirelessly to ensure that there are no barriers to equal opportunity at NSF or in thedelivery of its programs. These investments will be central to our ability to achieve those goals.Advances Climate Science and Sustainability ResearchThe FY 2022 Request to Congress provides 1.20 billion for climate and clean energy-related research.NSF will fund a broad portfolio of research related to climate science and clean energy, including researchon atmospheric composition, water and carbon cycles, computational modeling of climate systems,renewable energy technologies, materials sciences, and social, behavioral, and economic research on humanresponses to climate change.NSF’s investments in basic research, including funding and efforts supported in the Administration’sOverview - 2

FY 2022 Budget Request to CongressFY 2022 discretionary request, impact nearly every aspect of America’s clean energy future—fromfundamental physics, chemistry, and materials science to data and computation including artificialintelligence, to large-scale systems engineering and cyber-infrastructure. NSF’s clean energy investmentssupport innovative interdisciplinary basic and translational research and education that may broadlycontribute to future sustainability, such as the conversion, storage, an

fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and all levels of STEM education. NSF investments are critical to the economic and national security interests of the nation and development of a future-focused science and engineering workforce that draws on the talents of all Americans.
