The Frequency Agile Solar Radiotelescope (FASR) is a solar-optimized, solar-dedicated radio array that is expected to be the world's premier solar radio facility for two decades after completion in 2012. This talk describes the instrument and focuses on the broad science it is to address. The key science objectives are: 1) the nature and evolution of coronal magnetic fields; 2) the physics of flares; 3) drivers of space weather; and 4) physics of the quiet solar atmosphere. Science goals include coronal magnetography, electron energy and transport, initiation and acceleration of Coronal Mass Ejections, and coronal and chromospheric heating, among many others. The instrument, made up of hundreds of individual antenna elements, will provide solar images of the highest quality and spatial resolution ever obtained, at hundreds of frequencies ranging from 50 MHz - 20 GHz, with less optimized coverage to 30 GHz. The talk will also discuss the key instrumental design characteristics, and will give the current status of the project, as well as describing prototyping and study activities leading to the final proposal for construction.
