The current status of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) management information system (MIS) and NSF plans for making needed improvements were reviewed. The review focused on identifying major changes planned or in process, quality controls, user satisfaction, and cost. The goal of MIS is to automate all NSF administrative and program functions. Users of the system's data include NSF management, Congress, the Office of Management and Budget, and grantee institutions, with the system being managed by the NSF Directorate for Administration through the Division of Information Systems. NSF began developing MIS in 1971, and has spent over $15 million on it through fiscal year 1979, excluding personnel costs. A management consultant assessed the system in 1976 and found that user objectives had not been met and that significant improvements in the system were needed. Some of the consultant's recommendations were implemented, and managers and users have found the changes useful. However, other recommendations such as data quality assessment, long-range planning, and system performance evaluation have not been implemented.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has played a key role over the past several decades in advancing understanding of Earth's systems by funding research on atmospheric, ocean, hydrologic, geologic, polar, ecosystem, social, and engineering-related processes. Today, however, those systems are being driven like never before by human technologies and activities. Our understanding has struggled to keep pace with the rapidity and magnitude of human-driven changes, their impacts on human and ecosystem sustainability and resilience, and the effectiveness of different pathways to address those challenges. Given the urgency of understanding human-driven changes, NSF will need to sustain and expand its efforts to achieve greater impact. The time is ripe to create a next-generation Earth systems science initiative that emphasizes research on complex interconnections and feedbacks between natural and social processes. This will require NSF to place an increased emphasis on research inspired by real-world problems while maintaining their strong legacy of curiosity driven research across many disciplines ? as well as enhance the participation of social, engineering, and data scientists, and strengthen efforts to include diverse perspectives in research.
