The three Academies work together as the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine to provide independent, objective analysis and advice
to the nation and conduct other activities to solve complex problems and inform
public policy decisions. The National Academies also encourage education and
research, recognize outstanding contributions to knowledge, and increase public
understanding in matters of science, engineering, and medicine.
