The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished

scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and

technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the

Congress in 1863, the Acade my 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 Engineering 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 recognizes the superior achievements of

engineers. Dr. William. A. Wulf is president of the National Academy of Engineering.

The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy 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. Kenneth I. Shine is president of the 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 technology with the Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and

advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the

Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of

Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and

the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the

Institute of Medicine. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts and Dr. William. A. Wulf are chairman and vice chairman,

respectively, of the National Research Council.
