THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES Advisers to the Notion on Science, Engineering, and Medicine The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self- pe~petuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the fi~therance of science and technol- ogy and to their use for the general welfare. Upon He authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts is president of the National Academy of Sciences. The National Academy of Engineenog was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. 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 engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recog- nizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Wm. A. Wulf is presi- dent of the National Academy of Engineering. . The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Acad- emy 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 Institute 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 presi- dent of He Institute of Medicine. The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and tech- nology with the Academy's purposes of barbering knowledge and advis- ing the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general poli- cies determined b y the Academy, the C ouncil h as b ecome the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the Na- tional Academy of Engineering in providing services to He government, He public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by bow Academies arid the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts and Dr. Wm. A. Wulf are chair and vice chair, re- spectively, of the National Research Council. www.national~academies.org 5
