The National Academies Press (NAP) is a Washington-based publisher created by the National Academies to disseminate reports issued by the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the Institute of Medicine, and the National Research Council, under a Congressional charter. Each year, NAP releases more than 200 books on science, engineering, and health topics, aiming to capture authoritative views on important issues in science and health policy. Its publications draw on leading experts who serve on panels and committees drawn from the institutions represented by NAP. The output primarily serves policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders who rely on rigorous, vetted analysis to inform decision-making in science and health. A notable recent development is the 2022 NIH-commissioned expert consensus study report released by NAP, reflecting ongoing collaboration with national health institutions.
