The Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology of the National Research Council will carry out a comprehensive assessment of research opportunities and needs in the field of polymer science and engineering. The field has evolved dramatically in the ten years since the 1981 report, "Polymer Science and Engineering: Challenges, Needs and Opportunities." There is a clear need to define the current research frontiers, the matching research needs and opportunities for chemists, chemical engineers, biologists, materials scientists, and the corresponding funding priorities that will be essential for planning and decisions by funding agencies. The proposed study will be carried out by a committee of 15 experts established by the Board. It is estimated that the study will take 12 months to complete at a cost of $200,000 of which $75,000 is being provided by the National Science Foundation. The National Science Foundation Divisions participating are the Division of Materials Research, Division of Molecular Biosciences, Division of Chemical and Thermal Systems, and the Division of Chemistry.

国家研究理事会化学科学和技术委员会将对聚合物科学和工程领域的研究机会和需求进行全面评估。自1981年的报告《聚合物科学和工程：挑战、需求和机遇》以来的十年间，该领域发生了巨大的变化。显然需要确定当前的研究前沿、化学家、化学工程师、生物学家、材料科学家的匹配研究需求和机会，以及对资助机构的规划和决策至关重要的相应的资助优先事项。拟议的研究将由董事会设立的一个由15名专家组成的委员会进行。据估计，这项研究将耗时12个月完成，费用为200 000美元，其中75 000美元由国家科学基金会提供。参与的国家科学基金部门包括材料研究部门、分子生物科学部门、化学和热系统部门以及化学部门。
