The metabolomics work, like the proteomics work, is very important; this project has been using multiple approaches to develop techniques and evaluate standards. 1 National Research Council, An Assessment of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory: Fiscal Year 2007.

It was unclear whether the ACD group's project has developed sufficient interactions with other groups outside of NIST with relevant experience. For example, the ACD will need to develop increased interaction with a larger project of forensics researchers if it is to optimize its participation in any NIST-wide response to the recent National Research Council report on forensics science.2 Projects Within the Inorganic Chemical Metrology Group The Inorganic Chemical Metrology Group (ICMG)

The project is also preparing the laboratory and SRM infrastructure needed for the hydrogen economy. The Gas Metrology Group's close interaction with the Environmental Protection Agency and instrument manufacturers will soon complete scientifically sound and legally defensible protocols for monitoring Hg emissions from coal-fired electricity generation plants.

Cutting-edge work with potentially high impact is highly evident within the ACD, including the neutron imaging work and the Hg isotope ratio work on marine tissue. The division is doing an excellent job of generating standards and trace analysis methodologies using commercial instrumentation, which is congruent with its mission.

From page 10... ...
It is recommended that the ACD work with its staff to increase its publication rate, with more publications in high-impact journals such as Analytical Chemistry, Nature Methods, and others, where the work of the division would be read by a broader audience of the analytical chemistry community. In addition, more attention should be given to having ACD staff become more visible in the scientific community.
