In 1961, the National Academy of Science (NAS) created a committee, that eventually evolved to become the Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy (COSEPUP). COSEPUP was intended to assist the NAS President and Council in their roles of advising the government at the highest levels on policy matters related to U.S. science and technology. The NSF has supported COSEPUP from its onset. Formally, COSEPUP is charged with the responsibility to deliberate on initiatives for new studies in the area of science and technology policy, taking especially into account the concerns and requests of the President s Science Advisor, the Director of the NSF, the Chairman of the National Science Board, and the chairmen of key science and technology-related committees of the Congress . COSEPUP undertakes major independent studies of national issues in U.S. science and technology policy. In recent years, for example, it has conducted prominent studies on NSF s Science and Technology Centers, graduate education in science and engineering, policy goals for science and technology, and recruitment and retention of Presidential appointees. In addition, it has developed a number of guidance manuals on science and engineering for students and faculty on responsible conduct of research, careers in science and engineering, and mentoring of students in science and engineering. COSEPUP also hosts workshops and convocations to encourage dialogue on key science and technology policy issues such as the recent Convocation on Doctoral Science and Engineering Education which was cosponsored by many disciplinary societies and university organizations.

1961年，美国国家科学院（NAS）成立了一个委员会，该委员会最终演变为科学、工程和公共政策委员会（COSEPUP）。COSEPUP的目的是协助美国科学院院长和理事会在与美国科学和技术有关的政策问题上向政府提供最高级别的建议。NSF从一开始就支持COSEPUP。COSEPUP的正式职责是审议科学和技术政策领域的新研究倡议，特别要考虑到总统科学顾问、美国国家科学基金会主任、国家科学委员会主席和国会主要科学和技术相关委员会主席的关注和要求。COSEPUP对美国科学和技术政策中的国家问题进行重大的独立研究。近年来，在国家科学基金会的科学技术中心、理工科研究生教育、科学技术政策目标、总统任命人员的招聘和留任等方面进行了突出的研究。此外，它还为学生和教师编写了一些科学和工程方面的指导手册，内容涉及负责任的研究行为、科学和工程方面的职业，以及指导科学和工程方面的学生。COSEPUP还举办讲习班和会议，鼓励就关键的科学和技术政策问题进行对话，例如最近由许多学科学会和大学组织共同主办的博士科学和工程教育会议。
