Highlights

The United States has led the world in high energy physics research; other countries are now challenging that lead. The Federal Government provides nearly all of the funding of the U.S. high energy physics efforts. The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) has oversight responsibility over all federally funded basic science and works with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in developing the basic science budgets. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is the principal Federal agency for the support of basic research across all fields of science and science education. The Department of Energy (DOE) has the primary responsibility for implementing a sound national high energy physics program.
