... Subsequently, the entire panel assembled for 1.5 days, during which they attended overview presentations by EEEL management and interactive sessions with EEEL managers; the panel also met during this period in a closed session to deliberate its findings and to define the contents of this assessment report. 1 The eight NIST laboratories are the Building and Fire Research Laboratory, the Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory, the Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory, the Information Technology Laboratory, the Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory, the Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory, the NIST Center for Neutron Research, and the Physics Laboratory.

... A similar document addressing the FY 2008 administration research and development budget priorities2 was also considered and was deemed somewhat more applicable to the next assessment of EEEL in 2009. The FY 2005 document recommends support for six general national policies: Sustain and nurture America's science and technology enterprise though the pursuit of specific agency missions and stewardship of critical research fields and their enabling infrastructure; Strengthen science, mathematics, and engineering education by enhancing access and broad availability of excellent education programs, establishing and encouraging best educational practices, and integrating research and education; Focus on long-term, potentially high-payoff activities that require a federal presence to attain national goals, including homeland and national security, environmental quality, economic prosperity, human health and well-being, and fundamental discovery; 2 FY 2008 Administration Research and Development Budget Priorities, June 23, 2006, Memorandum from the Executive Office of the President, Washington, D.C.

... goals; and Strengthen international partnerships that foster advancement of scientific frontiers and accelerate the progress of science across borders. It also outlines five specific R&D priorities that are broad-based multi-agency goals and include R&D for combating terrorism, nanotechnology, networking and information technology R&D, molecular-level understanding of life processes, and environment and energy.
