Federal Science Agencies

Federal science agencies are government organizations that conduct, fund, and support scientific research to address national priorities, improve public health, protect the environment, and advance technology. Examples include NASA (space exploration), NIH (health research), NOAA (weather and climate), and EPA (environmental protection). They provide expertise, data, and innovations that benefit society, inform policy decisions, and foster scientific progress. These agencies collaborate with universities, industry, and international partners to solve complex problems and ensure the United States maintains leadership in science and technology.
