NSO accomplishes this mission by: 1. Providing leadership for the development of new ground-based facilities that support the scientific objectives of the solar and solar-terrestrial physics community; 2. Advancing solar instrumentation in collaboration with university researchers, industry, and other government laboratories; 3. Providing background synoptic observations that permit solar investigations from the ground and space to be placed in the context of the variable Sun; 4. Providing research opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students, helping develop classroom activities, working with teachers, and mentoring high school students; 5. Innovative staff research. The National Solar Observatory is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy under a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation, for the benefit of the astronomical community.
