National Science and Technology Council

The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) is a U.S. government body that coordinates science and technology policy across federal agencies. Established in 1993, it aims to ensure that scientific research and technological innovation support national goals, such as economic growth, public health, and environmental sustainability. The NSTC brings together leaders from various departments to collaborate, share information, and address pressing challenges, helping to align government efforts with the nation’s strategic interests in science and technology. This council plays a vital role in shaping policies that foster innovation and advance scientific discovery for the public good.
