SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exciting
new opportunities at the interface of
neuroscience and other science and
engineering disciplines, catalyzed by
transformative new discoveries and
technologies, are poised to reshape
brain research and its applications.
Advances at these interdisciplinary
frontiers depend on dialogue across
many areas of scholarship, including
behavioral, biological, cognitive,
computing, educational, engineering,
mathematical, and physical sciences
research, as well as fields and subfields
that have not traditionally been linked
to neuroscience. The National Science
Foundation seeks community input that
illuminates these interdisciplinary
opportunities, from theory to
applications, and points to how they
might best be realized.

The National Science
Foundation (NSF) published a
document in the Federal Register of
December 10, 2020, concerning a
request for public comment on the
2022–2026 Strategic Plan for the
National Science Foundation. The
notice was published without links to
the document under review as well as
the current strategic plan. This notice
now includes those links. The
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) and GPRA Modernization
act of 2010 requires federal agencies to
publish their strategic and performance
plans in pursuit of their missions.
Through this Request for Information
(RFI), the National Science Foundation
(NSF) seeks public comment on the key
elements of the strategic plan—the
Vision, Core Values, Strategic Goals,
and Strategic Objectives—and high-level
questions that will guide the
development of the 2022–2026 NSF
Strategic Plan.
DATES: Please send comments on or
before January 22, 2021. Comments
received after that date will be
considered to the extent practicable.
Send comments to the address below.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments to the
strategic planning website, https://
www.nsf.gov/od/oia/strategicplan/

Interdisciplinary Frontiers of
Understanding the Brain
1.0 Background
NSF was created ‘‘to promote the
progress of science; to advance the
national health, prosperity, and welfare;
to secure the national defense . . .’’
(1950, as amended). Looking ahead,
NSF aims to advance the frontiers of
research into the future and secure
global leadership in science and
engineering, while ensuring
accessibility and inclusivity. To meet
these aims, NSF expands knowledge in
PO 00000

Request for Information
Through this Request for Information
(RFI), the National Science Foundation
(NSF) seeks comment from a broad array
of stakeholders regarding the 2022–2026
Strategic Plan. Comments should be
submitted to the strategic plan website,
https://www.nsf.gov/od/oia/
strategicplan/feedback.jsp, and should
reference the previous NSF Strategic
plan for FY 2018–2022 which can be
found here, https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/
2018/nsf18045/nsf18045.pdf. We
welcome comments on the key elements
of the strategic plan, including Vision,
Core Values, Strategic Goals, and
Strategic Objectives, and answers to the
following questions:
1. What are the interests, values and
emergent science and policy issues that
the Strategic Plan should recognize?
2. How can NSF help maintain US
leadership in an evolving global
research and education landscape?
3. How can the plan best underscore
the importance to the Nation of
fundamental research and its broader
impacts?
