The U.S. National Science Board approved a resolution to allow all full‐time and postdoctoral scientists from the Smithsonian Institution to apply for National Science Foundation grants through the agency's normal merit review process. The resolution modifies NSF's policy on funding other federal agencies, and it acknowledges “the unique status of [the] Smithsonian Institution and its special contributions to science research and education.”
