Abstract
It is easy to think of the National Science Foundation (NSF) as an organization dedicated to just the support of science research and education, and indeed, that is how most of us interact with the Foundation. However, the NSF's mission includes activities to "promote the progress of science", so it is not surprising that it also has been authorized to "provide a central clearinghouse for the collection, interpretation, and analysis of data on scientific and technical resources". In this effort, the NSF Web site provides a wealth of timely information on science and engineering, including educational issues. The NSF Web site is also an excellent place to start looking for information available through other Federal agencies. Careful inspection of this information can do a lot to help researchers and educators get a wide view of the place of their efforts in the nation's science efforts.
