Committees

Much of the background work of the National Science Board is done through its committees. By statute, the Board has an Executive Committee (EC), which exercises such functions as are delegated to it by the Board, and such other committees as the Board deems necessary. The Board has four other standing committees.

Note: NSB Chairman, NSB Vice Chairman, and NSF Director are Members ex officio of all committees.
