National Science Foundation (NSF) Remote Workers by State, as of June 2024
The map below shows the number of NSF remote workers (as of June 2024) by the state in which their alternative worksite was located.
At the time, NSF had 411 remote workers located in 41 states and Washington, D.C. Remote workers made up 24.2 percent of NSF’s workforce.
In January 2025, the President directed that all executive agencies require employees work in-person at agency offices, with certain exceptions. As a result, the information in this map may not reflect the current number or location of remote workers at NSF.
