Grantor Contact InformationMegan Chamberlain, Responsible Staff OfficerGrantor Emailmchamberlain@nas.eduOther Grantor InformaitonThe National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide independent, objective advice to inform policy with evidence, spark progress and innovation, and confront challenging issues for the benefit of society. They are comprised of three academies: the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the National Academy of Medicine. The organization convenes hundreds of conferences, workshops, and symposia annually, bringing together leading experts from academia, public, and private sectors. Their work focuses on providing high-quality, evidence-based consensus on complex scientific, engineering, and health-related challenges. They produce peer-reviewed reports, publish scientific journals, and serve as a trusted source of expert advice for policymaking. The National Academies mobilize approximately 6,000 top experts each year who volunteer their time and knowledge to conduct policy studies, workshops, and other activities aimed at addressing critical issues facing the nation and world.

Additional informationThe CAPS provides an independent, authoritative forum for identifying and discussing issues in astrobiology and planetary science. Topics include geosciences, planetary protection, and other cross-disciplinary areas. The committee monitors the progress of implementing the priorities in the most recent decadal survey and provides advice on related scientific and technical activities. Additional URLs:
