![The [[National Academy of Sciences building]] in [[Washington, D.C.]] in 2000](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/66/NationalAcademySciences_07110011.jpg)
As a national academy, new members of the organization are elected annually by current members, based on their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research. Election to the National Academy is one of the highest honors in the scientific field. Members of the National Academy of Sciences serve ''pro bono'' as "advisers to the nation" on science, engineering, and medicine. The group holds a congressional charter under Title 36 of the United States Code.
Founded in 1863 as a result of an Act of Congress approved by Abraham Lincoln, the NAS is charged with "providing independent, objective advice to the nation on matters related to science and technology. ... to provide scientific advice to the government 'whenever called upon' by any government department."
The academy receives no compensation from the government for its services. Provided by Wikipedia
