The term "NSFNET" refers to a program of coordinated, evolving projects sponsored by the National Science Foundation that was initiated in 1985 to support and promote advanced networking among U.S. research and education institutions. Participants in NSFNET projects began with the national supercomputer centers and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and continued over time with a partnership team including Merit Network, Inc., IBM, MCI, Advanced Network & Services, Inc., and the State of Michigan; regional networks; and many institutions in research and education. Projects included the construction of data networks as well as the outreach required to spur adoption of networking technologies by researchers and educators.
