Leadership Support for Core Activities of the Board on Behavioral, Cognitive and Sensory Sciences (BBCSS)

行为、认知和感觉科学委员会（BBCSS）是美国国家科学院的常设机构，成立于1997年，主要有五个目标：(1)让这些科学领域的学术和其他研究人员参与到重大国家政策问题的考虑中来；(2)促进和推进对复杂科学和政策问题的跨学科研究；(3)为研究人员、公众、媒体、国会、专业协会、国家科学基金会和其他联邦机构提供客观、独立和严格的审议论坛；(4)引起人们对行为科学、认知科学和感官科学对国家政策的重要性的关注；(5)将这些科学与国家科学院处理的各种政策问题联系起来。委员会为规划和其他目的召开会议，开展由专家委员会单独资助和执行的讲习班和共识研究，为其他国家科学院的研究推荐合适的专家，参与研究活动和报告的审查，并广泛传播研究结果。它还定期讨论诸如行为科学的未来方向和新兴趋势等广泛问题，重点是政策影响。董事会成员担任志愿者。

The Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences (BBCSS), a standing body of the National Academies, was established in 1997 with five principal goals: (1) to engage academic and other researchers in these sciences in the consideration of major national policy issues; (2) to promote and advance cross-disciplinary inquiry into complex scientific and policy questions; (3) to provide a forum for objective, independent, and rigorous deliberation among researchers, the public, the media, Congress, professional associations, the NSF and other federal agencies; (4) to draw attention to the significance of the behavioral, cognitive, and sensory sciences to national policy; and (5) to link these sciences to the diverse policy issues addressed by the National Academies.The Board convenes meetings for planning and other purposes, develops workshops and consensus studies that are separately funded and conducted by committees of experts, suggests appropriate experts for other National Academies studies, participates in the review of study activities and reports, and widely disseminates study results. It also regularly grapples with broad issues such as future directions and emerging trends of the behavioral sciences, with an emphasis on policy implications. Members of the Board serve as volunteers.
