Science & Scientific Information & Knowledge!
Please note National Science Foundation.com is a private site - not
affiliated with the U.S. National Science Foundation, or any other countries
National Science Foundation.
A number of nations have their own National Science Foundation's, including
Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Japan and several other nations.
This NSF website is here to provide free Science knowledge, which scientific
knowledge we are in the process of adding to this site. Please check back again
later for more science content!
Still another purpose of this site is to give visitors easy access to the US
National Science Foundations and other Science Foundation sites worldwide. A new space exploration site we recommend you visit is
moonshot.com for space exploration and information on planned future moonshots to the moon!
Since The U.S. National Science Foundation uses an abbreviated name and also
a dot-gov name extension (instead of the much better known .com), it makes it
sometimes difficult for them to easily locate the U.S. Government Agency
Official NSF Site! Foreign NSF sites also use hard to remember and use url's.
With our full descriptive name, and web-links, these govt agencies may now be
easily reached.
Below we reprint a brief article from the U.S.
national science foundation website dealing with the purpose
and mission of the US National Science Foundation. National
science foundations in other nations have similar objectives.
Penicillin, the proximity fuse, the atomic bomb, among a host
of other scientific contributions to American victory in the Second World War,
brought home to many citizens the value of scientific research. In the
continuing crisis after the war, there were few who opposed the proposition
that sustained Federal support of science and research was essential to the
defense and welfare of the United States."
"By the National Science Foundation Act of 1950 the Congress
established the National Science Foundation to promote the progress of science;
to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national
defense; and for other purposes.' The President approved the act on May 10,
1950."
The US National Science Foundation is an independent U.S. Government Agency
responsible for promoting science and engineering through
programs that invest over $3-billion per year in almost
20,000 research and education projects in science and engineering.
Please note this website
is not affiliated with The
National Science Foundation located
in the U.S. or any other nation, or their official government
web-site. This name may be in use by other nations of the
world using their individual country code name extension
and not necessarily always by the U.S. We offers this web-site
link as an easy-to-find link to their official website.
Typically a government site (The U.S. for example, and some
other countries) use a dot-gov name extension instead of
the more well known dot-com or dot-org. To avoid any confusion
to a government website we have posted a link to the official
government website on this page for easy access. However,
in the unlikely event a Government Agency determines our
use of this name is causing confusion the official government
agency or department can receive this domain name at no
cost upon their official request, which of course will need
to be verified for needed authenticity. Please click-on
the link located above for easy and direct access to the
official government webpage if applicable.
