COMMITTEE ON NATIONAL STATISTICS
The Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT) was established in 1972
at the National Academies to improve the statistical methods and informa-
tion on which public policy decisions are based. The committee carries
out studies, workshops, and other activities to foster better measures and
fuller understanding of the economy, the environment, public health, crime,
education, immigration, poverty, welfare, and other public policy issues. It
also evaluates ongoing statistical programs and tracks the statistical policy
and coordinating activities of the federal government, serving a unique role
at the intersection of statistics and public policy. The committee’s work is
supported by a consortium of federal agencies through a National Science
Foundation grant.
