The National Science Foundation is the government's chief agency for financing basic research in all sciences. The National Science Foundation is the funding source for around 20% of federally-supported basic research in US universities and colleges. In the fields of science and engineering, the National Science Foundation is the federal agency responsible for assessing our national capacity. The NSF provides funding many individual research projects as well as for large scale infrastructure. The NSF provides the main source of funding for scientists in the United working in many areas of biological research. The NSF provides critical funding support to scientists who are not typically supported by other agencies, including those that carry out non-medical biological research, as well as those in the physical and behavioral sciences and engineering.
