The National Science Board is an independent policy body established by Congress in 1950 with dual responsibilities to:

  • Oversee and guide the activities of, and establish policies for, the National Science Foundation; and
  • Serve as an independent national science policy body that provides advice to the President and the Congress on policy issues related to science and engineering that have been identified by the President, Congress or the Board itself.

The Board has 24 members appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, plus the NSF Director as an ex officio member. More>>>
