Our Focus Areas

Technology





























We support research and development in critical technology areas — from semiconductors to synthetic biology.



NSF investments have given the world Doppler radar, the modern Internet, web browsers, MRI, laser eye surgery, DNA analysis and synthetic biology. And those are just a few highlights.

NSF supports the full range of critical and emerging technologies, including the key technology focus areas enumerated in the "CHIPS and Science Act of 2022."

Recently, we created our first new directorate in more than 30 years — Technology, Innovation and Partnerships — to quickly transform research being funded by NSF and being done across the U.S. into impactful products, services and solutions that will secure the nation's competitive edge for decades to come.
