A combination of intensified international pressure and deadlines associated with Euro-Atlantic integration processes has prompted a spate of transfers of persons indicted for war crimes to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague in late 2004-early 2005. Full cooperation with The Hague tribunal has been established as a key prerequisite to further progress toward a shared long-term goal for the western Balkan countries: closer association with and eventual membership in the European Union (EU) and NATO. This report is updated as the number of individuals indicted for war crimes have been transferred to The Hague from Serbia, Kosovo, and Bosnia.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) was created by the National Science Foundation Act of 1950, as amended (P.L. 81-507). The NSF has the broad mission of supporting science and engineering in general and funding basic research across many disciplines. The agency provides support for investigator-initiated, merit-reviewed, competitively selected awards, state-of-the-art tools, and instrumentation and facilities. The majority of the research supported by the NSF is conducted at U.S. colleges and universities. Approximately 82% ($2,790.2 million) of NSF’s FY2003 $3,403.6 million research and development (R&D) budget was awarded to U.S. colleges and universities.1 Preliminary data reveal that for FY2003, the NSF provided approximately 53.4% of all federally funded basic research conducted at the nation’s colleges and universities, with the exclusion of biomedical research sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. In addition, NSF provides almost 30% of the total federal support for science and mathematics education. This report will be updated periodically.
