Science and Technology for America’s Progress: Ensuring the Best Presidential Appointments in the New Administration

Committee Committee on Science and Technology in the National Interest: Ensuring the Best Presidential Appointments,National Academy of Sciences,National Academy of Engineering,Institute of Medicine

The new presidential administration and Congress elected in November 2008 will face immediate challenges. Events will not permit a leisurely leadership transition. The prompt appointment of senior advisers and the nomination of top officials in the new administration with the knowledge and experience to address complex problems will be essential. The concerns of the nation regarding jobs and economic growth, health care, national security, energy, and the environment demand informed action. Each of these concerns - from national security, economic development, health care, and the environment, to education, energy, and natural resources - is touched in essential ways by the nation’s science and technology enterprise. This is the fourth in a series of books from the National Academies on the presidential appointment process, each delivered during a presidential election year with the goal of providing recommendations to the successful candidate about appointing his senior science and technology leadership and pursuing sustained improvements in the appointments process.
