Understanding the Brain ABOUT NSF
• Established by Congress in 1950 as an independent federal agency to promote American science and engineering (S&E). • The only federal agency that funds basic non- biomedical research and education across all fields of S&E and at all levels of education. • Invests in the basic research and people who make discoveries that transform our future by driving the U.S. economy, enhancing our Nation’s security, and giving the United States the competitive edge to remain a global leader. • Funds advanced instrumentation and facilities, Arctic and Antarctic research and operations, cooperative research between universities and industry, and U.S. participation in international scientific efforts. • Allocates nearly 90 percent of research funding through a competitive merit review process as grants or cooperative agreements to individual researchers and groups at colleges, universities, academic consortia, nonprofit institutions, and small businesses. • Has supported 217 Nobel Laureates since its inception.

NSF: Shaping the new Human- Technology Frontier
We envision a world in which technologies – sensors, communication, computation, and intelligence – are embedded around, on, and in us. We propose a bold initiative to catalyze the interdisciplinary science and engineering needed to shape that future and the human centered engineered and social systems that those technologies will enable. - Machine intelligence - Energy efficiency of sensing, communica ons and compu ng - Human-centered engineered systems with cogni ve and adap ve capaci es, best matched to collabora on with people - Understand how technologies affect human behavior and social organiza ons - Improve and extend learning - Address technical and social research challenges in privacy and security The Human-Technology Fron er
Compu ng will be embedded around, on, and in us. These engineered systems will be more pervasive, more personal, more in mate.
Understanding how constantly evolving technologies are ac vely shaping our lives and how we in turn can shape those technologies, especially in the world of work • understand benefits, risks of new technologies: efficiency, quality, produc vity, human dynamics • science and engineering: crea ng technologies that promise to enhance work lives • Educa on: changing workplace demands changing workforce 2015 PCAST NITRD REPORT Cri cal Areas: – Cybersecurity – Health – Big Data and Data Intensive Compu ng – Interac on with the Physical World – Privacy – Cyber-Human Systems – Founda onal Research – High-Capability Compu ng BETH’S SPECULATION
