- Mission [1]
- The BSC provides advice and recommendations regarding scientific and technical program goals, objectives, strategies, and
priorities. It advises and provides guidance on statistical and epidemiological research and activities on a full range of
issues such as determinants of health, mortality and natality, health status, and trends in prices, costs, and sources of
payments. The BSC keeps abreast of emerging approaches to monitoring key public health, health policy, and other policy changes
and encourages NCHS to take advantage of opportunities to improve or augment its practices and procedures. The BSC reviews
the NCHS research agenda, advises on development of research initiatives (both intramural and extramural), and provides second-level
policy review for extramural research projects.
