Committee on Atomic, Molecular and Optical Sciences (Physics)

建议NSF为美国国家科学院原子、分子和光学科学委员会（CAMOS）提供为期三年的部分支持。CAMOS为这一广泛而多样的领域提供了一个重点：1)提供了联邦机构可以获得技术咨询和援助的来源。2)进行和发表有关原子、分子和光学科学及其与其他领域的多学科联系的研究。3)为原子、分子和光学科学家提供一个讨论的论坛，从而提供一个统一的机制。4)为原子、分子和光学科学界与资助研究的联邦机构项目主管之间的交流提供接口。

It is proposed that the NSF provide partial support for the NAS Committee on Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Sciences (CAMOS) for a three year period. CAMOS provides a focus for this broad and diverse field: 1) Providing a source from which federal agencies can obtain technical advice and assistance. 2) Conducts and publishes studies concerning atomic, molecular and optical science and its multidisciplinary connections to other fields. 3) Provides a forum for discussion among atomic, molecular, and optical scientists, thereby providing a unifying mechanism. 4) Provides an interface for communication among the atomic, molecular, and optical science communities and federal agency program directors who fund research.
