As of May 2018, there were 760 personnel working in ITL, roughly three-fifths of them in the four divisions reviewed, as shown in Table 1.1. In 2015, a National Academies panel reviewed the other three divisions of the ITL -- the Information Access Division, the Software and Systems Division, and the Statistical Engineering Division -- and summarized its findings in a 2015 report.7 In 2011, a National Academies panel reviewed all seven of the divisions of the ITL and summarized its findings in a 2011 report.8 For the current review, the NIST Director requested that the panel consider the following factors: the quality of the research and its relevance to the purposes of the divisions; the adequacy of the scientific expertise within the divisions; the adequacy of the divisions' facilities, equipment, and human resources; and the effectiveness by which the organization disseminates its program outputs.
