The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense…" With an annual budget of more than $8 billion, NSF is the funding source for approximately 20 percent of all federally supported basic research conducted by America`s colleges and universities. In many fields such as mathematics, computer science and the social sciences, NSF is the major source of federal backing. NSF awards about 11,000 new awards per year, with an average duration of three years -- to fund specific research proposals that have been judged the most promising by a rigorous and objective merit-review system. In the past few decades, NSF-funded researchers have won more than 200 Nobel Prizes as well as other honors too numerous to list. NSF funds equipment that is needed by scientists and engineers but is often too expensive for any one group or researcher to afford. Another essential element in NSF`s mission is support for science and engineering education, from pre-K through graduate school and beyond.
Student Association is the undergraduate student government at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York. SA is coincidentally the largest student government in the SUNY system. Our Student Association is unique in that we are a pseudo-autonomous student government. We, the students, run our student government under the guidelines of our constitution, overseen by the SA Student Assembly and SA Senate. We are funded by the Mandatory Student Activity Fee, which students vote to continue, in a bi-annual referendum. The use of funds must follow SUNY Mandatory Student Activity Fee Guidelines and the allocation of funds is determined by the SA Senate. Services provided by the Student Association are for the students, by the student. The goal of the Student Association is to provide a better university experience of all undergraduate students by representing students to university administrators and advocate for their needs while providing an enjoyable and rewarding experience through limitless services, opportunities, events and club organizations.
