United States National Research Council

The National Research Council (NRC) of the USA is the working arm of the National Academies of the United States, carrying out most of the studies done in their names.

The National Academies include:

  • National Academy of Engineering (NAE)
  • Institute of Medicine (IOM)

Unlike the other three organizations of the National Academies, the National Research Council is not a membership organization.
