- Description
- Justification Pursuant to 13.106-1(b), The National Science Foundation (NSF) intends to serve as a sponsor of the 235th American Astronomical Society Booth Exhibition on January 4-8, 2020. The American Astronomical Society is the major organization of professional astronomers in North America. Its membership of about 7,000 individuals also includes physicists, mathematicians, geologists, engineers, and others whose research and educational interests lie within the broad spectrum of subjects comprising contemporary astronomy. The mission of the AAS is to enhance and share humanity's scientific understanding of the universe. The AAS meeting is expected to bring together an expected number of more than 2,500 astronomers from all over the world to Washington, DC, USA, to present and discuss the latest scientific breakthroughs and discoveries in the rapidly evolving scientific area of astronomy. As the only federal agency dedicated to the support of basic research and education in all fields of science and engineering, NSF has empowered discoveries across a broad spectrum of scientific inquiry for more than six decades. The result is fundamental scientific research that has had a profound impact on our nation's innovation ecosystem and kept our nation at the very forefront of the world's science-and-engineering enterprise. In addition to this order, the funding will cover the cost of exhibit space, marketing, furnishings, electricity, signage and supplies. The notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. This synopsis is for informational purposes only
