Subject
Summary:

The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Directorate for Education and Human Resources, exercises the unique federal role of advancing science, mathematics, engineering, and technology education programs. For fiscal years 1990 through 1993, money available for these programs more than doubled, from about $243 to $512 million, while resources to administer and manage the programs grew by less than one-fourth, or from about $6 million to $7.3 million, adjusted for inflation. This report examines (1) how the Directorate sets priorities for its education programs, (2) how the Directorate evaluates the results of its programs and how these evaluations are used to set future priorities, and (3) whether the Directorate has obtained the resources it needs to run its programs effectively.
