Abstract

The article discusses the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's (NASEM) significant restructuring efforts in response to a loss of federal funding, particularly since the Trump administration. The reorganization of the National Research Council (NRC) aims to improve efficiency by potentially eliminating up to one-fifth of its advisory boards and consolidating its program units into two new centers focused on interdisciplinary topics. While some stakeholders express optimism about the streamlined operations, concerns remain regarding the impact on ongoing projects and staff stability, as NASEM has already laid off a portion of its workforce. The restructuring is intended to enhance the NRC's ability to provide timely scientific advice to policymakers amidst budget constraints. [Extracted from the article]
