The National Academies 2005 Report to Congress

   The National Academies , 2005

    For more than 100 years, the National Academies have provided independent advice on issues of science, technology, and medicine that underlie many questions of national importance. The Report to Congress is an annual report of their work.

    Four organizations comprise the Academies: the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council.

"The challenges that America faces do not lend themselves to overnight fixes.
Achieving these goals will require a multiyear commitment from a broad range of people working together — including scientists, engineers, health professionals, educators, politicians, and industry leaders. The Academies stand ready to help as the nation addresses these complex issues. "

The National Academies perform an unparalleled public service by bringing together committees of experts in all areas of scientific and technological endeavor. These experts serve pro bono to address critical national issues and give advice to the federal government and the public.
