DOE/NSF Nuclear Science Advisory Committee

NSAC is an advisory committee that provides official advice to the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) on the national program for basic nuclear science research. NSAC is chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). The NSAC Charter and website are managed by DOE, together with the responsibilities for organization and meeting logistics.  The lead responsibility for the direction of NSAC itself, selecting members, putting together meeting agendas and developing charges will continue to be shared by the two agencies.
