The National Academy of Sciences withdrew as the U.S. adhering member of the Pacific Science Association (PSA), effective July 1, 2026, and no longer serves as the U.S. adhering body to the Association. As a result, the BISO's Involvement with the Pacific Science Association (PSA) has been dissolved.

Statement of Task

The Pacific Science Association concentrates its efforts on promoting the contributions of science and technology to human progress in the Pacific. The PSA has task forces working on the regional aspects of such issues as global environmental change, population growth and resource management, biodiversity, globalization, and natural disaster reduction and mitigation.
