National service frameworks. NSFs help establish clear national standards for services to improve quality and reduce unacceptable variations in standards of care and treatment. There are NSFs for coronary heart disease, mental health, older people, and the NHS Cancer Plan. NSFs for children, diabetes, and renal (kidney) services are also being developed. Coronary heart disease NSF Mental health NSF Older people NSF Renal Services NSF Children's NSF Diabetes NSF The NHS Cancer Plan NHS Direct - 0845 4647 NHS Direct is a 24-hour, nurse-led helpline providing confidential health care advice and information on: Wwhat to do if you're feeling ill Health concerns for you and your family Self-help and support organisations

National Sleep Foundation
an independent agency of the federal government responsible for the promotion of progress in science and engineering by supporting programs in research and education
National Service Frameworks. National Service Frameworks are issued by the government and provide guidance and standards for health services to be to working towards.There is an NSF dedicated to mental health that set standards around mental health promotion, treatment and service user involvement.There is also an NSF for Older People that has a section on mental health for older people.This term should not to be confused with the National Schizophrenia Fellowship, which is now called Rethink.
(see National Service Frameworks)
national strike force. Operated by the U.S. Coast Guard, the NSF is composed of three strategically located teams (Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf coasts) who back up the federal On-Scene Coordinator. These teams are extensively trained and equipped to respond to major oil spills and chemical releases. These capabilities are especially suited to incidents in a marine environment but also include site assessment, safety, action plan development, and documentation for both inland and coastal zone incidents. The NSF Coordination Center is at Elizabeth City, NC.
National Science Foundation. An independent agency of the U.S. government with the mission of promoting science and engineering.
National Science foundation is an independent U.S. Government agency responsible for promoting science and engineering to enhance national health. NSF sets standards by which industries enhance public health in food, water, air, and environment. This is the simplified version, for more comprehensive NSF information check out their website ( www.nsf.gov). All Aquatic Enterprises seafood aquariums use NSF approved materials and equipment where applicable.

National Standard Format. Also known as "flat file" format, it is one of two standardizes electronic formats currently accepted by Medicare.
The National Science Foundation for many years funded and administered the NSFnet, which was one of the predecessor backbones of today's Internet. The NSFnet was discontinued on April 30, 1990.
National Standard Format; developed to facilitate electronic submission of claims and reduce quantity of paperwork; captures data required to establish medical necessity for DME, HME, POS, and PEN claims; includes electronic version of paper CMN and is accepted as full documentation

National Science Foundation. Wonderful US organisation without which none of our Antarctic research with the AASTO would be possible.
(pronounced "N-S-F") Acronym for National Science Foundation, a US Government Agency, which in 1984 created five supercomputer centres whose resources were to be made available to any educational facility that wanted access. These 5 centres needed to be connected so the resources could be shared, and the clients had the facilities to access them. Their original plan was to use ARPANET but restricted by red tape, they decided to form their own network called NSFNET.
Governmental acronym for the National Science Foundation.

National Science Foundation. An independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 that promotes scientific progress and provides funding to federally supported basic research groups conducted by America's colleges and universities in the fields of mathematics, technology and science.
National Science Foundation Source of research funding
Acronym for The National Science Foundation charged by Congress in 1992 for the Commercial development of the Internet under former President George Bush. Subsequently having its authority for Internet development removed by Executive Order in 1997 placing the authority of the commercial Internet under the Department of Commerce and National Telecommunications and Information Agency as part of the Government's Framework for Global Electronic Commerce.
A US government agency that has funded the development of a cross country backbone network as well as regional networks designed to connect scientists to the Internet. It operates a US network, the National Science Foundation Network (NSFNET).
National Science Foundation. They fund the NSFNet, a high-speed network that once formed the backbone of the Internet in the United States. Communication networks have supplanted most of NSFnet's usefulness.

National Science Foundation. A U.S. government agency whose purpose is to promote the advancement of science. NSF funds science researchers, scientific projects, and infrastructure to improve the quality of scientific research. The NSFNET, funded by NSF, is an essential part of academic and research communications. It is a highspeed "network of networks" which is hierarchical in nature. At the highest level, it is a backbone network currently comprising 16 nodes connected to a 45Mb/s facility which spans the continental United States. Attached to that are mid-level networks and attached to the mid-levels are campus and local networks. NSFNET also has connections out of the U.S. to Canada, Mexico, Europe, and the Pacific Rim. The NSFNET is part of the Internet.
