Abstract: | |
The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) provides expert advice to the President in all areas of science and technology. Through the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), OSTP helps the President coordinate science, space, and technology policy and programs across the federal government. The President's Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) ensures public sector involvement in the work of OSTP and the NSTC.
The daily work of OSTP includes: Advising the President and the Executive Branch in policy and budget development on all questions related to science and technology (S&T); Leading an interagency effort to develop and implement S&T policies and budgets across Federal agencies; Coordinating the Federal government's research and development efforts to maximize the return on the public's investment in S&T; Fostering strong partnerships among Federal, State, and local governments, and the scientific community in industry and academe; Communicating the President's S&T policies and programs to Congress and addressing the need for appropriate resources; and Advancing international cooperation in science and technology.
OSTP is organized into four divisions: Environment Division; National Security and International Affairs Division; Science Division; Technology Division. The Environment Division ensures a sound scientific and technical underpinning for environmental policies, and an interagency R&D strategy for environment and natural resource issues. Priority policy areas for the Environment Division include global climate change, ozone depletion, loss of biological diversity, desertification, deforestation, pesticides and toxic substances, urban and regional air quality, environmental technologies, water quality, hazardous and solid waste, natural hazards, and marine pollution. The Division also has responsibility for promoting risk analysis and environmental education programs, and supporting the development of regional ecosystem approaches to environmental protection.
