the Advancement of Science and the National Association of Academies of Science. The
NAS was established in 1880 and uses a set of seven objectives to guide its activities.
These objectives include:
- To further the work of scientists and to facilitate cooperation;
- To improve the effectiveness of science in the promotion of human welfare and environmental quality;
- To provide the opportunity for scientific research related to the problems of the ever-changing environment of the Great Plains;
- To increase public understanding and appreciation of the importance and promise of science in human progress;
- To stimulate science education, and to encourage young people to become involved in science;
- To foster the interaction of business, industry, government, education, and the academic scientific community; and
- To disseminate scientific knowledge, and to recognize high achievements in attaining the Academy’s objectives
The NAS is classified as a 501(c)(3) private foundation. Donations are tax deductible. The
