Some alleged he had connections to the KGB, the allegations continued during 2003-2008, when Russian dissident Vladimir Bukovsky, who had been granted access to Soviet archives, declared that Iliescu and some of the NSF members were KGB agents, that Iliescu had been in close connection with Mikhail Gorbachev ever since they had allegedly met during Iliescu's stay in Moscow, and that the Romanian Revolution of 1989 was a plot organized by the KGB to regain control of the country's policies ( gradually lost under Ceaușescu's rule ).

These reviews are carried out by panels of independent scientists, engineers and educators who are experts in the relevant fields of study, and who are selected by the NSF with particular attention to avoiding conflicts of interest.

In June 2010, the National Science Board ( NSB ), the governing body for NSF and science advisers to both the legislative and executive branches, convened its Task Force on Merit Review to determine " how well the current Merit Review criteria used by the National Science Foundation ( NSF ) to evaluate all proposals were serving the agency.

) Today, that idea has expanded to encompass the National Optical Astronomy Observatory, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, the National Solar Observatory, the Gemini Observatory and the Arecibo Observatory, all of which are funded in whole or in part by NSF.

Over the next decade, increasing NSF involvement leads to a three-tiered system of internetworks managed by a mix of universities, nonprofit organizations and government agencies.

By the mid-1980s, primary financial support for the growing project is assumed by the NSF.

; 1990s: NSF funds the development of several curricula based on the NCTM standards, devised by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

In 1991, the National Science Foundation ( NSF ), which manages the U. S. Antarctic Program ( USAP ), honoured his memory by dedicating a state-of-the-art laboratory complex in his name, the Albert P. Crary Science and Engineering Center ( CSEC ) located in McMurdo Station.

These “ signatures ” are of great relevance to LIGO ( Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory ), a multi-institution gravity-wave experiment for which Thorne has been a leading proponent — in 1984, he cofounded the LIGO Project ( the largest project ever funded by the NSF ) to discern and measure any fluctuations between two or more ' static ' points ; such fluctuations would be evidence of gravitational waves, as calculations describe.

He won an NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award in 1984, was the 1987 Connecticut Eli Whitney Entrepreneur of the Year, and in 2003 received the ACM / IEEE Eckert-Mauchly Award.

From 1993 through 1999, NSF ’ s SESTAT reported that the percentage of women working as computer / information scientists ( including those who hold a bachelor ’ s degree or higher in an S & E field or have a bachelor ’ s degree or higher and are working in an S & E field ) declined slightly from 33. 1 % to 29. 6 % percent while the absolute numbers increased from 170, 500 to 185, 000.

For example, reviewers cannot work at the NSF itself, nor for the institution that employs the proposing researchers.

Most NSF grants go to individuals or small groups of investigators who carry out research at their home campuses.

By 1968, the NSF budget will stand at nearly $ 500 million.

; 1985: In November, the NSF delivers ozone sensors, along with balloons and helium, to researchers at the South Pole so they can measure stratospheric ozone loss.

By 1968, the NSF budget would stand at nearly $ 500 million.

Douceur and her niece, believing Douceur's condition to be grave and believing an earlier medevac flight possible, contacted Senator Jeanne Shaheen for assistance ; as the NSF continued to state Douceur's condition did not qualify for a medevac attempt and conditions at the base would not permit an earlier flight, Douceur and her supporters brought the situation to media attention.

This resulted in the creation of the very-high-performance Backbone Network Service, or vBNS, developed in 1995 by the National Science Foundation ( NSF ) and MCI, specifically to meet the needs of the supercomputers at educational institutions.

Currently, NSF is at version 01h.

If the routine does not return in time or not at all then the NSF will not play.

Afterwards, Glashow became a NSF fellow at NORDITA and joined the University of California, Berkeley where he was an Associate Professor from 1962 – 66.

Because neuronal function depends on the release of neurotransmitters at a synapse — a process in which synaptic vesicles fuse with the presynaptic membrane — NSF is a key synaptic component.

Thus, conditional temperature-sensitive mutations in the Drosophila melanogaster gene for NSF lead to a comatose behaviour at the restrictive temperature ( and hence the gene is called comatose ), presumably because neuronal functions are blocked.

This gives NSF a putative role in delivery and expression of AMPA receptors at the synapse.
