National Science Resources Center
The National Science Resources Center (NSRC) is operated by the Smithsonian
Institution and the National Academy of Sciences to improve the teaching of sci-
ence in the nation's schools. The NSRC collects and disseminates information
about exemplary teaching resources, develops and disseminates curriculum ma-
terials, and sponsors outreach activities, specifically in the areas of leadership de-
velopment and technical assistance, to help school districts develop and sustain
hands-on, inquiry-centered science programs. The NSRC is located in the Arts
and Industries Building of the Smithsonian Institution and in the Capital Gallery
Building in Washington, D.C.
National Academy of Sciences
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating soci-
e~cy of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, ded-
icated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the gen-
eral welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in
1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal govern-
ment on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts is president of the
National Academy of Sciences.
National Research Council
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 gov-
ernment. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the
Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the Na-
tional Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in provid-
ing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering
communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the In-
stitute of Medicine. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts and Dr. William A. Wulf are chairman
and interim vice chairman, respectively, of the National Research Council.
Smithsonian Institution
The Smithsonian Institution was created by an act of Congress in 1846 in accor-
dance with the will of the Englishman James Smithson, who in 1826 bequeathed
his property to the United States of America "to found at Washington, under the
name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and dif-
fusion of knowledge among men." The Smithsonian has since evolved into an in-
stitution devoted to public education, research, and national service in the arts,
sciences, and history. This independent federal establishment is the~world's
largest museum complex and is responsible for public and scholarly activities, ex-
hibitions, and research projects nationwide and overseas.
