Standing Committee

Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology

The Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology (BCST) of the National Academies convenes top experts to assess research and share their insights on pressing chemical science and engineering issues. Our goal is to provide our nation's decision makers with the highest quality scientific and technical advice.

We work in eight areas: Basic Research; Chemical and Energy Industries; Biochemistry; Environmental Chemistry; Pharmaceutical Chemistry; Electrochemistry; National and Homeland Security; and Education and Workforce Development.

Core support for our board is provided by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy.
