<p>This is about NSF</p>

<p>NSF-Funded Nobel Prize Winners in Science Through 2004
October 2004</p>

<p>The National Science Foundation (NSF) was established in 1950 "to promote the progress of science" and today funds more than 10,000 new awards each year in fulfilling that mission. NSF selects projects through a time-tested process of merit review, and the success of that process is reflected, in part, in the number of NSF-supported scientists recognized for their discoveries. In particular, NSF takes great pride in the remarkable achievements by U.S. and U.S.-based researchers that have received Nobel Prizes and the many who have been supported by NSF grants throughout their careers.</p>

<p>NSF's contributions are significant considering the agency's size and the foundation's support for fundamental research in many disciplines relative to agencies focused on a specific mission such as health, defense or energy. NSF's share of federal funding for basic academic research in physical sciences (including physics and chemistry) is 35 percent, non-health-related biology is 65 percent and non-health-related social sciences is 84 percent.</p>

<p>Though a decade-long fund-raising campaign that ends next year has more than doubled the flow of private money pouring into UCLA, officials say a trend of shrinking government funding of public universities means UCLA will depend even more on private donations in years to come. </p>

<p>Campaign UCLA, launched publicly in May 1997, reached its target earlier this year of raising $2.4 billion for campus entities including professional schools, athletics and the library. University charts show the average annual private donations to UCLA stand at $250 million, up from $100 million prior to the current fund-raising effort. </p>

<p>Chancellor Albert Carnesale said in a meeting with the Daily Bruin this month that as California continues to suffer budget woes, UCLA must concentrate on strengthening its floundering ability to compete with private universities in recruiting graduate students, faculty and researchers. </p>

<p>Turteltaub said this "competitiveness gap" was the principal motivation behind creating the Initiative to Ensure Academic Excellence, a UCLA fund-raising effort started this spring to raise $250 million over the next five years, and "to provide a laser sharp focus on the needs of students and faculty."</p>
