Advising the Nation. Improving Health.

The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonproit, self-perpetuating society

of distinguished scholars engaged in scientiic and engineering research, dedicated to

the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare.

Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Acad-

emy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientiic

and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy

of Sciences.

The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter

of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding en-

gineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members,

sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the

federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineer-

ing programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research,

and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Charles M. Vest is presi-

dent of the National Academy of Engineering.

The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of

Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in

the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Insti-

tute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its

congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own

initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V.

Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine.

The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sci-

ences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the

Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government.

Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the

Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy

of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the

government, the public, and the scientiic and engineering communities. The Coun-

cil is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr.

Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. Charles M. Vest are chair and vice chair, respectively, of

the National Research Council.
