In all three we shall look to the Board to be the focus of the Interests and responsibilities of the Academy-Research Council in space science; to establish necessary relationships with civilirm science and with governmental science activities, particularly the proposed new space agency, the National Science Foundation, and the Advanced Research Projects Agency; torepresenttheAcademy-ResearchCouncilcomplex m ourmtemational relations mthis field onbehalf of A nencan science and scientists; to seek ways to stimulateneededresearch; m pro notenecessary coordination of scientific effo t; and to provide such advice and recommendations to appropriate individuals and agencies with regard to space science as may in the Board's judgment be desirable.

In addihon to assisting in developing long-range research strategies and fommal program and progress assessments in terTns of these strategies, the standing committees sometimes organize ad hoc studies and provide oversight of the task groups created to conduct such studies. They also perform analysis tasks m support of interdisciplinary task groups and committees or in response to other requirements assigned by the Board.

The Space Studies Board has been engaged in many such multiunit collaborations, and the increasingly interdisciplinary, multidimensional character of contemporary science and technology is likely to lead to more cross-NRC acavibes. This approach to projects has the potential to bring more of the full capability of the National Academies to bear in preparing advice for the government.
