National Science FoundationThe National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense…" With an annual budget of $7.2 billion (FY 2014), we are the funding source for approximately 21 percent of all federally supported basic research conducted by America's colleges and universities. In many fields such as mathematics, computer science and the social sciences, NSF is the major source of federal backing.

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) helps Americans start, build, grow and capitalize businesses. In 1953, President Eisenhower established the SBA as an independent agency of the federal government to protect the interests of small business concerns, to preserve free competitive enterprise, and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy of the nation. Small businesses are critical to the U.S. economy and instrumental in competing in today’s hyper-competitive global marketplace. |
