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 workshop proceedings were conducted by a planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, which discussed overlapping factors, current and novel diagnostic practices, identification of therapeutic targets, and collaboration improvement. Sponsors include CDC, Department of Health and Human Services, Steven and Alexandra Cohen Foundation, and other federal, for-profit, and non-profit entities.
