- Mission [1]
- The Committee meets three times a year to examine specific areas of NIST’s mission, including the role that the NIST laboratories
and extramural programs play in stimulating innovation and competitiveness, and to provide feedback to NIST senior management.
The Committee’s feedback on NIST’s strategic direction, performance and policies is critical to help ensure that NIST is well-positioned
to stimulate technological innovation and U.S. competitiveness well into the future and encourages continuous improvement
in key areas in the overall operation of NIST. Over the past few years, the Committee has been active in shaping NIST’s strategic
planning process and assessing the strengths of its programs. The Committee also reviews and provides comments on NIST’s Three-Year
Programmatic Plan. During FY2011, the Committee has focused on NIST’s management priorities; the delivery and development
of NIST’s measurement services; and NIST’s role in forensic science, cybersecurity, advanced manufacturing, the President’s
Wireless Innovation Initiative and other national priorities.
