Results Act: Observations on the National Science Foundation's Draft Strategic Plan

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the draft strategic plan for the National Science Foundation (NSF), focusing on: (1) whether it fulfills the requirements of the Results Act and its overall quality; (2) whether it reflects NSF's key statutory authorities; (3) whether it reflects interagency coordination for crosscutting programs, activities, or functions that are similar or complementary to other federal agencies'; and (4) whether NSF's data and information systems are providing adequate information for measuring results.
