... Subsequently, the panel members assembled for another day, when they conducted interactive sessions with NCNR managers and with leaders of NCNR user groups; the panel also met at this time in a closed session to deliberate its findings and to define the contents of this assessment report. 1 The eight NIST laboratories are the Building and Fire Research Laboratory, the Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory, the Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory, the Information Technology Laboratory, the Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory, the Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory, the NIST Center for Neutron Research, and the Physics Laboratory.

... The panel's goal was to identify and report salient examples of accomplishments and opportunities for further improvement with respect to the technical merit of the NCNR work, its perceived relevance to NIST's own definition of its mission in support of national priorities, and apparent specific elements of the NCNR's resource infrastructure that is intended to support the technical work. These highlighted examples, for each NCNR division, are intended to collectively portray an overall impression of the laboratory while preserving useful suggestions specific to projects and programs that the panel considered to be of special note within the set of those examined.
