Organization
National Science Foundation (NSF)
The NSF is the only federal agency whose mission includes support for all fields of fundamental science and engineering, except for medical sciences. NSF is tasked with keeping the US at the leading edge of discovery in a wide range of scientific areas, from astronomy to geology to zoology. Unlike many other federal agencies, NSF does not hire researchers or directly operate our own laboratories or similar facilities. Instead, they support scientists, engineers and educators directly through their own home institutions (typically universities and colleges).
