The
National Science & Technology Medals Foundation
(NSTMF)
This Foundation, established in 1991 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit,
private/public partnership, began through a memorandum of understanding
with the The Department
of Commerce to support the National Medal of Technology.
In 1992, to better articulate the synergism between science and technology,
the Foundation signed a letter of agreement with the The
National Science Foundation, folding the
National
Medal of Science into its mission. The Foundation coordinates
its activities with the The
White House Office of Science and Technology Policy
in the Executive Office of the President.
