Grantor Contact InformationDwayne Day, Responsible Staff Officer; dday@nas.eduGrantor Emaildday@nas.eduOther Grantor InformationThe 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 project involves identifying and prioritizing science campaigns necessary for human exploration of Mars, specifically focusing on geosciences disciplines. The effort is part of broader NASA Moon to Mars initiatives, mapping scientific goals to achievable missions and necessary technology development. Additional URLs:
