The National Academy of Sciences was created by the federal government to
be an adviser on scientific and technological matters. However, the Academy
and its associated organizations (e.g., the Institute of Medicine) are
private, non-governmental, organizations and do not receive direct federal
appropriations for their work. Studies undertaken for the government by
the Academy complex usually are funded out of appropriations made available
to federal agencies. Most of the studies carried out by the Academy complex
are at the request of government agencies. |
