National Science Foundation Director Files, 1983-2004 (continued)
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.
Arranged alphabetically by type.

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.
