"A Bountiful Harvest for the Academy"

Scientist (12/26/88) Vol. 2, No. 24, P. 3

Abstract: The recently adjourned 100th Congress asked the Institute of Medicine and other divisions of the National Academy of Sciences to conduct 20 studies, including a study on the ability of university-industry-government consortia to strengthen AIDS research. The new AIDS study follows the Academy's landmark 1986 study, "Confronting AIDS." The record number of studies shows the faith Congress has in the Academy and the lawmakers' growing awareness of the importance of some of the nation's thorniest technical issues. As well as shedding light on difficult subjects, the Academy sometimes helps resolve differences between the House and the Senate on particular issues. The National Academy of Sciences' 1863 charter charges it with advising the government.
