Partial Core Support of the Board on Physics and Astronomy

该奖项支持美国国家科学院物理与天文学委员会(BPA)的会议和其他活动。物理和天文学委员会(BPA)是国家研究理事会(NRC)的中心，负责与物理和天文学相关的活动，以及它们与工程、医学、化学、生物和其他科学的互动。BPA的主要目标是保持对物理学和天文学研究现状的认识，确定新出现的需求，并启动解决这些问题并促进持续进展的研究。BPA通过与学术界的物理学和天文学社区、联邦机构及其咨询委员会、政府实验室、工业、相关科学和技术学会以及NRC的其他委员会和委员会密切合作来实现这些目标。

This award supports meetings and other activities of the National Academy of Science's Board on Physics and Astronomy (BPA). The Board on Physics and Astronomy (BPA) serves as the focal point in the National Research Council (NRC) for activities related to physics and astronomy and their interactions with engineering, medicine, chemistry, biology, and other sciences. The BPA's principal objectives are to maintain an awareness of the status of research in physics and astronomy, to identify emerging needs, and to initiate studies that address these problems and that foster continued progress. The BPA fulfills these objectives by working closely with the physics and astronomy communities in academia, federal agencies and their advisory committees, government laboratories, industry, relevant scientific and technical societies, and other boards and committees of the NRC.
