Partial Support of the Solid State Sciences Committee

*非技术摘要*该奖项支持美国国家科学院物理与天文学委员会固态科学委员会(SSSC)。SSSC监测固态科学的健康状况，确定科学前沿的重要新发展，促进与其他领域以及科学界和联邦政府之间的互动，促进对国家的有效服务，并加强物理教育。SSSC是一个多学科委员会，成员来自大学、行业和国家实验室。它的成员？专业领域包括凝聚态物理、固态化学，以及陶瓷、电子材料、冶金和聚合物的材料研究方面。这一广泛的成员有助于交叉培训？研究人员。通过委员会会议，成员们了解到科学的广度，并建立了对科学前沿的多学科理解。同样重要的是，SSSC成员获得了对华盛顿决策过程的赞赏。*技术摘要*该奖项支持国家科学院物理和天文学委员会的固态科学委员会(SSSC)。SSSC确定并讨论固态科学研究、开发和应用社区关注的问题，特别是与研究机会相关的问题，并向联邦机构提供有关其相关计划的指导。S委员会的操作指导方针是：(1)回应技术信息和援助的请求；(2)发起和监督固态科学研究及其与其他科学和技术领域的强大多学科联系的开展和发表；(3)作为固态社区的教育资源；以及(4)为固态和材料科学家与华盛顿政策制定者之间的讨论提供论坛。SSSC准备关于固体科学新兴研究领域的白皮书，以启动国家研究理事会委员会随后对这些主题的研究。

****NON-TECHNICAL ABSTRACT****This award supports the Solid State Sciences Committee (SSSC) of the Board on Physics and Astronomy of the National Academies. The SSSC monitors the health of the solid state sciences, identifies important new developments at the scientific forefronts, fosters interactions with other fields and between the science community and the federal government, facilitates effective service to the nation, and enhances education in physics. The SSSC is a multidisciplinary committee with membership drawn from universities, industry, and national laboratories. Its members? areas of expertise include condensed-matter physics, solid state chemistry, and materials research aspects of ceramics, electronic materials, metallurgy, and polymers. This broad membership contributes to the ?cross-training? of researchers. Through committee meetings, members are informed about the breadth of science and build a multidisciplinary understanding of the forefronts of science. Equally important, members of the SSSC gain an appreciation for the policymaking process of Washington.****TECHNICAL ABSTRACT****This award supports the Solid State Sciences Committee (SSSC) of the Board on Physics and Astronomy of the National Academies. The SSSC identifies and discusses issues of concern to the solid state science research, development, and applications community, particularly in connection with research opportunities, and provides guidance to federal agencies regarding their associated programs. The committee?s operating guidelines are: (1) to respond to requests for technical information and assistance; (2) to initiate and oversee the conduct and publication of studies in the solid state sciences and its strong multidisciplinary connections to other field of science and technology; (3) to act as an educational resource for the solid state community; and (4) to provide a forum for discussion among solid state and materials scientists and Washington policymakers. The SSSC prepares white papers on emerging areas of research in the solid state sciences to initiate subsequent National Research Council committee studies on those topics.
