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 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 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 govern-

ment. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed

at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the supe-

rior achievements of engineers. Dr. Wm. A. Wulf is president of the National Academy

of Engineering.

The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sci-

ences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the ex-

amination 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 presi-

dent 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 Na-

tional 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. Wm. A.

Wulf are chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the National Research Council.
