My talk today will include a mix of history and predications. NSF is currently celebrating its 50th Anniversary. I ll share a few snapshots from the Foundation s first 50 years emphasizing the role of engineering in shaping the agency s first half century. Then, we ll make a brief stop in the present day. I ll review the new Strategic Plan we are developing for NSF along with a few funding trends that deserve our attention.
