NSF's role in achieving performance goals in science and engineering leads to investments in integrative research and human capital activities to enhance the potential for important discoveries or new knowledge with expected future benefits to our society. Because of the close connections between the investments in performing research and building a research base of skilled scientists and engineers through academic and training opportunities, expenses incurred by NSF are presented as overall stewardship investments for NSF for performance measurement. In FY 1999, the outputs of NSF investments in the research and academic community resulted in a number of grants awarded and scientists and students supported. |

Supplementary Schedule of Deferred Maintenance NSF has considered whether any scheduled maintenance necessary to keep fixed assets of the agency in an acceptable condition was deferred at the end of FY 1999. NSF has determined that scheduled maintenance on one item of heavy mobile equipment was not completed in FY 1999 and was deferred or delayed for a future period. The equipment is considered to be in fair condition and NSF has estimated it requires $70,000 in maintenance. |
