| BOX 130-151 | Speaking Engagements and Personal Appearances, 2000-2004 | ||||||||||||
| This subseries documents speeches, interviews, remarks, panels, keynote
addresses, house budget committee hearings, congressional science committee
hearings, roundtables, ceremonies, groundbreakings, and budget requests, mostly
between 2000 and 2004. Subjects include science at the turn of the twentieth
century, research and development initiatives, climate change, biocomplexity,
and the underrepresentation of women and people of color in science careers.
Some speeches focus on the National Science Foundation’s fiftieth anniversary
in 2000, reflecting on the establishment of the agency and its role in shaping
United States science policy. In many cases this subseries duplicates or
supplements materials present within the Meeting and
Travel Files subseries. Material types include speeches, talking points, calendars, agendas, and correspondence. Videos and some presentations are in digital formats. |

| BOX 151-173 | Correspondence, 1998-2004 | ||||||||||||
| The Correspondence subseries mostly features outgoing correspondence from
Colwell and her office related to official business of the National Science
Foundation. Topics include action items, approvals from the director, and
responses to questions regarding agency activities, budget issues, policies,
programs, and grants. Correspondents include heads of other government
organizations, administrators at academic institutions, and members of the
United States Congress. The subseries also comprises thank you letters, staff
memoranda, service awards, recommendation letters, and various attachments.
Most of the correspondence is arranged chronologically, with some invitations
arranged alphabetically as either “accepted” or “declined.” In keeping with the
original order of the materials, incoming and outgoing letters are often
grouped together and filed according to the date of the most recent letter.
There is very little incoming correspondence. Material types include letters, memoranda, invitations, and email printouts, and attachments including reports, plans, agreements, and press releases. |

| The Subject Files subseries comprises materials that supplement many of the
Meeting and Travel Files documenting
Colwell’s daily activities as National Science Foundation director. Strategic
planning within the agency is documented through Senior Management Integration
Group files, assistant director retreats and meetings, and various working
groups, committees, and task forces. The files on the National Science
Foundation’s budget include performance plans, negotiations, and background on
legislation. Agency directorates featured prominently in the subseries include
Biological Sciences (BIO), Education and Human Resources (EHR), Engineering
(ENG), and Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS). Other notable subjects
documented in the subseries include the Commission on the Advancement of Women
and Minorities in Science, Engineering, and Technological Development
(CAWMSET), the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC),
international programs, and historical background on the National Science
Foundation. Material types include notes, reports, clippings, correspondence, memoranda, agendas, presentations, and meeting minutes. Videos, photographs, maps, and some reports and other textual materials are in digital formats. |
