Do you want a big overview of NSF, explaining things like the fact that 24% of all federally funded academic fundamental research comes from NSF? And that 94% of its budget goes out the door in grants/awards? Here you go. https://nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/Factsheet_ByTheNumbers.pdf?VersionId=CqK4KW39D4nNtO_xZRKkhyGznH659z4h

Maybe your cousin is super into infrastructure. Here’s a cool map of all the major research infrastructure supported by NSF globally. https://nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/2022_NSF_Major_Research_Infrastructure_Static_508c.pdf?VersionId=n9MWWoQ33iRzK9NeecjnwlmpEn.cgd4o

Do you live in a US State, District, or Territory? Get specific with these “NSF in your state” sheets. Here’s an example from Kansas. https://new.nsf.gov/about/fact-sheets#nsf-in-your-state-a2f

If you want to dig in at the institution level, this is the dashboard for you. Hit the “Search” up top to find the university/business/nonprofit you’re interested in and look at 5 years worth of funding data. Have fun! https://tableau.external.nsf.gov/views/InstitutionFactsheet/InstitutionSnapshot?%3Aembed=y&%3Aiid=1&%3AisGuestRedirectFromVizportal=y

Thanks! I posted the website on my Facebook, and I plan to share random facts about what NSF does. Maybe someone on my time line will learn something and then say something.
