The National Academy of SciencesâNational Research Council is a private, nonprofit organization of scientists, dedicated to the furtherance of science and to its use for the general welfare. The Academy itself was established in 1863 under a Congressional charter signed by President Lincoln. Empowered to provide for all activities appropriate to academies of science, it was also required by its charter to act as an adviser to the Federal Government in scientific matters. This provision accounts for the close ties that have always existed between the Academy and the Government, although the Academy is not a government agency. The National Research Council was established by the Academy in 1916, at the request of President Wilson, to enable scientists generally to associate their efforts with those of the limited membership of the Academy in service to the nation, to society, and to science at home and abroad. Members of the National Research Council receive their appointments from the President of the Academy. They include representatives nominated by the major scientific and technical societies, representatives of the Federal Government, and a number of members at large. In addition, several thousand scientists and engineers take part in the activities of the Research Council through membership on its various boards and committees. Receiving funds from both public and private sources, by contribution, grant, or contract, the Academy and its Research Council thus work to stimulate research and its applications, to survey the broad possibilities of science, to promote effective utilization of the scientific and technical resources of the country, to serve the Government, and to further the general interests of science. The Maritime Research Advisory Committee is under the joint administrative spon- sorship of the Divisions of Engineering and Industrial Research and of Physical Sciences of the AcademyâResearch Council. The Committee was formed in 1958 at the request of the Maritime Administration of the Department of Commerce. The purposes of the Committee are to determine the most profitable short and long range research objectives of the Maritime Administration, to translate these objectives into specific suggestions for research and development indicating relative importance and priorities, and to de- lineate methods by which the research and development indicated can be effectively carried out.
