The assessment is currently scheduled to be repeated biennially; while the panel applied a largely qualitative rather than quantitative approach to the assessment, it is possible that future assessments will be informed by further consideration of various analytical methods that can be applied. The following report sections provide an assessment of each of the CSTL divisions and are organized into four areas: The degree to which CSTL programs in measurements and science and standards address national and agency priorities; The impact and innovativeness of the programs; The technical merit of the CSTL programs relative to the current state of the art worldwide; and The adequacy of the facilities, equipment, and human resources that affect the quality of the CSTL's technical programs.
