This award continues NSF support for the core activities of the Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT), a standing committee of the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council (NAS-NRC). The committee works to improve, over the long term, the statistical methods and information on which public policy decisions are based. It strengthens, directly and indirectly, the development of data for social, behavioral, and economic science research, makes such data more accessible for research, and furthers the development of methods for measurement, collection, and analysis for research and other purposes. On its own initiative, or at the request of NSF or another agency, the committee will identify problem areas in which statistical questions are important to public policy and carry out studies within these areas by itself or by convening panels of other experts. Most of the Committee's studies will fall under three major themes: improving and furthering the development of data on social and economic conditions, including health, social welfare, and the environment; improving statistical methods and their applications; and integrating and coordinating national statistics. The Committee will select specific areas for study, develop expert panels or workshops, select participants, review study activities and reports, and widely disseminate study results that have been rigorously peer reviewed under NAS oversight.Established in 1972 at the recommendation of the President's Commission on Federal Statistics, the committee fills a critical gap as an integrative force for a highly decentralized federal statistical system, in which research interests often have lower priority than other concerns. Representing more than a series of research studies, the committee's work also is a unique process of intellectual development that is critical in a decentralized statistical system. The committee provides leadership over interdisciplinary areas by bringing methodologically oriented statisticians and quantitatively oriented social, behavioral, economic, and physical scientists together with federal agency staff to work on problems important to public policy. The committee will continue to (1) improve national statistics and further the development and application of statistical methods for research, (2) link the science research communities and federal agencies that depend on scientific methods, (3) involve academic scientists in research to improve statistics that are used and produced in the federal government, and (4) provide forums for the exchange of information and ideas.

该奖项继续支持国家统计委员会（CNSTAT）的核心活动，该委员会是国家科学院-国家研究理事会（NAS-NRC）的常设委员会。 该委员会致力于长期改善公共政策决策所依据的统计方法和信息。 它直接或间接地加强了社会，行为和经济科学研究数据的开发，使这些数据更容易用于研究，并进一步发展用于研究和其他目的的测量，收集和分析方法。 该委员会将主动或应国家科学基金会或其他机构的要求，确定统计问题对公共政策具有重要意义的问题领域，并自行或召集其他专家小组在这些领域内进行研究。 委员会的大多数研究将属于三大主题：改进和进一步发展关于社会和经济状况的数据，包括卫生、社会福利和环境;改进统计方法及其应用;综合和协调国家统计。 该委员会将选择具体的研究领域，建立专家小组或讲习班，选择参与者，审查研究活动和报告，并广泛传播在国家统计局监督下经过严格同行审查的研究结果，该委员会根据总统联邦统计委员会的建议于1972年成立，填补了一个关键的空白，作为高度分散的联邦统计系统的综合力量，在这种情况下，研究兴趣往往比其他问题优先。 委员会的工作不仅是一系列的研究，而且是一个独特的知识发展过程，这在分散的统计系统中至关重要。 该委员会通过将方法导向的统计学家和定量导向的社会，行为，经济和物理科学家与联邦机构工作人员一起工作，以解决对公共政策重要的问题，从而在跨学科领域提供领导。 该委员会将继续（1）改进国家统计，并进一步发展和应用研究统计方法，（2）将依赖科学方法的科学研究界和联邦机构联系起来，（3）让学术科学家参与研究，以改进联邦政府使用和编制的统计数据，（4）为交流信息和想法提供论坛。
