该奖项为地球科学与资源委员会（BESR）提供部分资金，该委员会是美国国家研究委员会（NRC）地球科学活动的所在地。根据国会、联邦和州机构、科学界、私营部门和其他方面的需求，BESR指导一系列项目和倡议，就广泛的地球科学问题向国家提供独立、公正的科学和工程建议。拟议的最广泛一级的活动将包括有关环境、自然灾害、能源和自然资源的问题，并包括对各种规模的基础研究和应用研究的分析；技术发展及影响；数据提供和管理（包括监测、地理空间数据和基础设施）；以及教育、培训和劳动力发展。拟议的活动将由董事会及其五个常设委员会下属的特设委员会开展，并将产生已出版的共识报告、简报、新闻稿、通讯、国会和联邦机构简报、网络研讨会和其他旨在向公众传播的产品。

This award provides partial funding for the Board on Earth Sciences and Resources (BESR), the locus for earth science activities at the National Research Council (NRC). BESR guides a range of projects and initiatives that provide independent, unbiased, scientific and engineering advice to the Nation on a broad spectrum of earth science issues in response to needs expressed by Congress, federal and state agencies, the science community, the private sector, and others. The proposed activities at the broadest level will encompass questions about the environment, natural hazards, energy, and natural resources and include analysis of fundamental and applied research at various scales; technology development and impacts; data provision and management (including monitoring, and geospatial data and infrastructure); and education, training, and workforce development. The proposed activities will be conducted by ad hoc committees under the Board and its five standing committees and will result in published consensus reports, short briefs, press releases, newsletters, congressional and federal agency briefings, webinars, and other products intended for public dissemination.
