DEFINITION OF NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES (NAS)

The National Academy of Sciences (http://www.nas.edu/) was established

by President Abraham Lincoln on March 3, 1863. It has

served to “investigate, examine, experiment, and report

upon any subject of science or art” whenever called upon to

do so by any department of the government. The NAS has

expanded to include the so-called sister organizations,

including the National Research Council, the National

Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. Collectively,

these organizations are called the National

Academies.

The mission of the National Academies is to advise on

matters of science, technology, and medicine. They enlist

committees of the nation’s top scientists, engineers, and other

experts that frequently pervade policy decisions. The results

of their deliberations have inspired some of America’s most

significant and lasting efforts to improve the health, education,

and welfare of the population.

Their service to government has become so essential

that Congress and the White House have issued legislation

and executive orders over the years that reaffirm their

unique role.
