The National Research Council (NRC) was established in 1916 as part of
the National Academies in response to the nation's increased need for
scientific and technical services during World War I. It is now the principal
operating agency of both the National Academy of Science and the National
Academy of Engineering, carrying out most of the studies done in their names.
Research and governmental services are executed through the Council's extensive
committee structure, in which members serve without pay. Though the majority of
studies are performed at the request of government agencies, the National
Academies are private and receive no direct federal appropriations. Parties
independent of the institution must strictly review final reports, and the
review process must be deemed satisfactorily completed before any reports are
released to the public.
