In the 1950s, the NSF began laying foundations for American science.
After WWII devastated Europe’s research infrastructure, the U.S. stepped up—with the newly founded NSF funding massive projects like the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in West Virginia.

A graphic labeled ‘1950s – Laying the Groundwork’ features the National Science Foundation seal and a photo of large radio telescopes at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia. The text explains that after WWII, Europe could no longer lead foundational science research, prompting the newly formed NSF to fund major U.S. research infrastructure projects like this observatory.

A red and navy graphic titled ‘What You Can Do Right Now’ lists four action steps to support the National Science Foundation: contact your representatives via 5calls.org, join the SaveNSF.com mailing list, check out their action toolkit, and spread the word. Illustrated icons include a megaphone, raised fist, and protestors. At the bottom, black-and-white images show people at a science march holding signs, including one reading ‘My kids’ careers require science’ and another that says ‘Brains love science’.
