Description

The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) is a department of the United States government, part of the Executive Office of the President (EOP), established by United States Congress on May 11, 1976, with a broad mandate to advise the president on the effects of science and technology on domestic and international affairs.

The director of this office is traditionally colloquially known as the science advisor to the president. A recent appointed director was mathematician and geneticist Eric Lander who was sworn in on June 2, 2021. Lander resigned February 18, 2022, following allegations of misconduct.

On February 16, 2022, the Biden administration announced that deputy director Alondra Nelson would serve as acting director and former National Institutes of Health (NIH) director Francis Collins would serve as acting science advisor. Both assumed positions on February 18, 2022. In October 2022, Arati Prabhakar became Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. The most recent Michael Kratsios became Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy on March 25, 2025.
