Happy 75th birthday, National Science Foundation! On May 10, 1950, Congress established one of the world's best value, highest impact, and, frankly, coolest science agencies. The NSF finances federal research in just about anything that's not health (the National Institutes of Health do that). It's been a bit of a rough birthday party. Elon Musk's […]

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is celebrating its 70th anniversary amidst challenges, including a budget that has not kept pace with inflation and a looming government shutdown that could disrupt its operations. Established in 1950, the NSF has been instrumental in advancing U.S. scientific research, supporting projects from the discovery of gravitational waves to the development of the internet. However, its current budget of $8.8 billion is effectively less than in previous years due to inflation, and a proposed increase to $11.3 billion for 2023 is unlikely to pass Congress. Additionally, the NSF faces potential operational disruptions due to a possible government shutdown, which could delay grant payments and impact ongoing research. Despite these challenges, the NSF remains committed to fostering scientific innovation and maintaining U.S. leadership in global science and technology.
