Appendix C

Charge to the Board and Panels

NIST asked the Board on Assessment of NIST Programs to assess the technical quality of the laboratory programs by considering the following topics:

  • The technical merit of the programs relative to those of other institutions worldwide;

  • The appropriateness of the laboratory's programs relative to NIST's mission to promote U.S. economic growth by working with industry;

  • The effectiveness with which these programs are carried out and the results disseminated;

  • The adequacy of each laboratory's planning process;

  • The adequacy of each laboratory's human resources and physical facilities;

  • The appropriateness of the other-agency funding of the laboratory 's programs, both in level of funding and types of activities;

  • The industrial impact of the laboratory's programs and the assessment of this impact; and

  • The integration of the laboratory's mission into NIST's mission as a whole.
