OSAC Organizational Structure
OSAC members and affiliates make up a multi-level organization consisting of:
- A Forensic Science Standards Board (FSSB)
- Seven Scientific Area Committees (SACs)
- 22 discipline-specific subcommittees (SCs)
- FSSB Resource Task Groups
Following our core principles of balance, consensus, harmonization and openness, these experts work together to facilitate the development of scientifically sound standards and guidelines for the forensic science community.
Additionally, the OSAC Program Office (OPO) consists of NIST staff who provide operational support to the organization.
