Congress should create a new Science and Technology Hub within the Government Accountability Office to support an understaffed and overwhelmed Congress in addressing pressing science and technology policy questions.
The Federation of American Scientists (FAS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting scientific analysis and solutions to address critical national and global security threats. With a focus on nuclear non-proliferation, counter-terrorism, and safeguarding nuclear energy, FAS leverages its scientific expertise to inform policymakers, industry leaders, and the public on these complex issues.
Founded in the aftermath of World War II by Manhattan Project scientists, FAS has been at the forefront of efforts to reduce nuclear risks and prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction for over seven decades. Through rigorous research, data analysis, and policy advocacy, the organization tackles a wide range of challenges, including nuclear security, biosafety, government transparency, and the illicit trade of conventional and unconventional weapons.
FAS's audience encompasses policymakers, scientists, industry professionals, academics, and engaged citizens seeking authoritative, science-based insights into critical security matters. The organization's work is disseminated through various channels, including scholarly articles, government publications, and its own website, ensuring that its research and analysis reach key stakeholders and decision-makers.
By bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and policy formulation, FAS plays a vital role in promoting global security, fostering transparency, and raising awareness about the existential threats posed by nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons.
