The National Academies' Board on Mathematical Sciences and Their Applications (BMSA) supports and promotes the quality and health of the mathematical sciences and their interactions with science, engineering, medicine, and policy. It accomplishes that goal by organizing studies and workshops that identify research opportunities in emerging fields, build connections between the mathematical sciences and other fields, and illustrate the value of the mathematical sciences to new areas such as homeland security. Recent activities and their impacts include: A 2002 workshop illustrating how the mathematical sciences contribute to homeland security, which has led to productive discussions between the BMSA and the Department of Homeland Security and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. Through the BMSA, both of those organizations are learning how the mathematical sciences can contribute to their missions. A 2004 workshop on Enterprise Risk Management, which provided a forum for the exchange of perspectives among a wide range of government and private-sector experts in risk modeling and analysis. This provided a forum for demonstrating the relevance of the mathematical sciences to the challenges of many federal agencies with which the mathematical sciences community has had little previous contact. A 2005 report, Mathematics and 21st Century Biology, recommended a significant broadening of the mathematical sciences research program at the Department of Energy and demonstrated to biologists more generally the value of collaborations with mathematical scientists. A 2005 report, Basic Research in Information Science and Technology for Air Force Needs, has resulted in $6 million in new funds for the AFOSR Mathematics and Space Sciences Directorate, while cementing the role of mathematical sciences in information science and technology.More generally, the BMSA provides an interface between the mathematical sciences community and leaders in other fields of science, engineering, medicine, and public policy. In the past year, the BMSA has interacted with the heads of NSF and the National Institute for General Medical Sciences, leaders of the Federal Reserve System, and high-ranking decision-makers at NASA and at the Departments of Defense, Energy, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services. Through such interactions, the mathematical sciences community is becoming more widely valued and involved in the early stages of development of major federal programs.

美国国家科学院数学科学及其应用委员会（BMSA）支持和促进数学科学的质量和健康，以及它们与科学、工程、医学和政策的相互作用。 它通过组织研究和研讨会来实现这一目标，这些研究和研讨会确定了新兴领域的研究机会，建立了数学科学与其他领域之间的联系，并说明了数学科学对国土安全等新领域的价值。 最近的活动及其影响包括：2002年的讲习班，说明数学科学如何有助于国土安全，这导致了BMSA和国土安全部和国家地理空间情报局之间富有成效的讨论。 通过BMSA，这两个组织正在学习数学科学如何为他们的使命做出贡献。 2004年企业风险管理讲习班，为政府和私营部门风险建模和分析专家交流观点提供了一个论坛。 这提供了一个论坛，展示了相关的数学科学的挑战，许多联邦机构与数学科学界以前很少接触。2005年的一份报告《数学与世纪生物学》（Mathematics and 21st Century Biology）建议大幅扩大能源部的数学科学研究项目，并向生物学家更广泛地展示了与数学科学家合作的价值。2005年的一份报告，空军需求的信息科学和技术基础研究，为AFOSR数学和空间科学理事会带来了600万美元的新资金，同时巩固了数学科学在信息科学和技术中的作用。更广泛地说，BMSA提供了数学科学界与科学，工程，医学，和公共政策。 在过去的一年里，BMSA与NSF和国家普通医学科学研究所的负责人，联邦储备系统的领导人，以及NASA和国防部，能源部，国土安全部和卫生与公众服务部的高级决策者进行了互动。 通过这样的互动，数学科学界越来越受到广泛重视，并参与了主要联邦计划的早期发展阶段。
