imely research and publications are central to the Academy’s mission to Tpromote useful knowledge and advance the public good. Drawing from every discipline and profession, the Academy brings together scholars, artists, policy- makers, leaders in business, and other experts to examine the critical issues facing & MEETINGS PROJECTS, PUBLICATIONS our global society. The Academy has projects in four program areas:

•• Science, Engineering, and Technology; •• Global Security and International Affairs; •• The Humanities, Arts, and Education; and •• American Institutions and the Public Good. Active outreach efforts ensure that Academy findings and proposals reach policy-makers and leaders in government, higher education, business, and philanthropy. The Academy shares its research and recommendations through publications, meetings and events, and policy forums. In addition, the Academy sponsors two fellowship programs to support the next generation of scholars and policy-makers. Science, Engineering, and Technology

cademy projects in Science, Engineering, and Technology convene leading scientists, A policy-makers, and technical experts from both academia and industry to advance critical thinking about the evolving landscape for scientific research. The studies explore how science and technology are changing, how to help the public understand those changes, and how society can better adapt to those changes. Areas of interest include the American research enterprise and the factors affecting the nation’s productivity in science and technology; the evolution of the Inter- net and its influence on social norms and institutions; and public understanding of, and trust in, science and medicine.

The Academy is uniquely suited to engage in science policy work. As an independent, nonpartisan institution, the Academy has the latitude to take on issues that other organizations might find difficult to pursue. By bring- ing together experts from all the scientific disciplines, as well as leaders from industry, public affairs, and other domains, the Academy undertakes cross-sector, cross-disciplinary studies of today’s most pressing science and technology concerns. —Neal Lane, Malcolm Gillis University Professor, Professor of Physics and , and Senior Fellow at the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy, Rice University The Academy serves as a key resource to national policy-makers on issues pertaining to the U.S. scientific research enterprise and its importance to technological innovation.

Founded by Harvey Brooks, CISS has been led by distinguished experts such as Paul Doty, Franklin A. Long, and Carl Kaysen. Previous work includes pathbreaking analyses of the implications of the Strategic Defense Initiative, the militarization of space, the relationship between environmental scar- city and violent conflict, the proliferation of small arms and light weapons, and the challenge of strengthening institutions of international justice.

he Academy is collaborating with organizations across the country—colleges and univer- Tsities, learned societies, libraries, state councils, museums, and government—to develop policy recommendations and resources that strengthen American education from kindergarten through graduate school. Current projects examine critical issues such as the financial education of American citizens and the importance of supporting public colleges and universities. The Academy’s ongoing initiative for the humanities includes the Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences and the Humanities Indicators data project.
