the nrf is an independent statutory body established through the national research foundation act (act no 23 of 1998), following a system-wide review conducted for the department of arts, culture, science and technology (dacst). the new entity incorporated the functions of the research funding agencies that were previously servicing various sections of the research community, namely the former centre for science development (csd) of the human sciences research council (hsrc) and the former foundation for research development (frd) that included several national research facilities.
