Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy Core Activities

科学、工程和公共政策委员会（COSEPUP）负责对美国科学政策和美国技术政策中的国家问题进行重大独立研究。 例如，近年来，它对美国的科学和技术政策目标、与全球变暖有关的政策、科学研究的完整性、美国的民用技术政策以及总统任命人员的招聘和保留进行了重要研究。 外空委的核心活动，包括委员会本身的会议和两名工作人员的会议，大部分由内部资金支付（个别研究单独供资）。 NSF支持COSEPUP已有30年，今年将继续提供支持。 下一个三年期请拨522 000美元。

The Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy (COSEPUP) undertakes major independent studies of national issues in U.S. Science policy and U.S. technology policy. In recent years, for example, it has conducted prominent studies on U.S. policy goals for science and technology, policies related to global warming, integretiy in the conduct of scientific research, U.S. policy for civilian technology, and recruitment and retention of Presidential appointees. COPSEPUP's core activities, including meetings of the Committee itself and staff of two, are underwritten substantially by internal funds (individual studies are separately funded). NSF has supported COSEPUP for 30 years and is continuing its support this year. $522,000 is requested for the next three-year period.
