The NIST laboratories conduct research to anticipate future metrology and standards needs, to enable new scientific and technological advances, and to improve and refine existing measurement methods and services.

The panel's goal was to identify and report salient examples of accomplishments and opportunities for further improvement with respect to the following: the degree to which the ITL programs achieve their stated objectives and fulfill the ITL mission, the technical merit and scientific caliber of the ITL work, and the alignment between ITL R&D efforts and ITL services and other mission-critical deliverables. These examples are intended collectively to portray an overall impression of the laboratory, while preserving useful suggestions specific to projects and programs that the panel examined.
