Washington, DC — The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Coalition for National Science Funding (CNSF) on February 15 hosted "The Arc of Science: Research to Results," an event on Capitol Hill to highlight for new members of Congress and their staff some of the tangible impacts of federally funded basic research.
NSF Director France Córdova and Reps. Lamar Smith and Eddie Bernice Johnson of Texas delivered remarks.
With hands-on demonstrations, the event showcased the kind of NSF-funded research that strengthens the economy, enhances national security and sustains the U.S. as a global leader in science and engineering.
NSF-funded researchers of all disciplines, accompanied by the individuals or groups benefiting from their research, were on hand to demonstrate the real-world application of the research.
