The U.S. National Science Foundation's digital strategy shapes how the agency develops, maintains and improves its digital projects.
NSF digital strategy efforts span three areas:
- Enabling the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) community and the public to access high-quality NSF information and services anywhere, anytime and on any device.
- Ensuring that NSF procures and manages devices, applications and data in smart, secure and affordable ways.
- Unlocking the power of NSF data to spur innovation across the nation and benefit people's lives.
