Other Grantor Information
The 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 Information
The Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico are the two spills of record in the United States that resulted in detrimental and long-lasting environmental, economic, and societal impacts for both regions. An ad-hoc committee will plan up to three workshops engaging researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders from both regions. Topics may include restoration of oil-afflicted ecosystems, climate change impacts on oil spills, and community-focused research. Additional URLs:
