Do the Academies respond to both the executive and the legislative branches of government? Do they also work with state governments and quasi-public institutions?
Yes. The Academies strive to be similarly responsive to requests from the executive and the legislative branches of government for guidance on scientific and technological issues. In special cases, the National Research Council will undertake a project or study or sponsors a meeting at the request of a state government. Some such projects carried out in recent years have involved joint requests to the Research Council from a unit of a state government and a federal agency. The institution would not normally undertake a project on a state or local issue in the absence of significant national policy implications of federal agency interest. Quasi-public institutions, private companies, and foundations may participate in sponsoring work by the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine. However, industry cannot provide more than 50 percent of the support for a project. Similar criteria are applied by the institution to all prospective projects, including self-initiated ones. G
