Partial Support of the Committee on Atomic, Molecular and Optical Sciences

该奖项支持国家科学院物理和天文学委员会的原子、分子和光学科学委员会(CAMOS)。CAMOS是一个常设委员会，成员来自大学、行业和政府实验室。它的成员拥有旨在涵盖原子、分子和光学(AMO)科学的全部范围的专业知识。CAMOS的活动吸引了来自古迹组织科学各分领域的一批顶尖科学家参与联合讨论，并为该机构提供了一个学习环境，内容涉及科学的公共政策进程和古迹办事处在更广泛的物理科学背景下的地位。此外，CAMOS活动增进了更广泛的科学界和决策界对AMO科学的理解。CAMOS将通过举办多学科研讨会、准备简短的非技术文件和启动研究，继续教育研究人员、政策制定者和公众有关AMO科学的进展对其他科学和技术领域产生影响的情况。CAMOS的目标如下：积极管理为AMO科学准备的最新十年研究“控制量子世界”所制定的议程；提供一种手段，使联邦机构能够请求国家研究委员会提供有关AMO科学和相关领域的技术信息和援助，并使NRC中的其他单位能够获得有关AMO科学的专门知识；就古迹遗址组织科学和/或其与其他科学和技术领域的多学科联系方面的重要及时专题开展特别研究和讲习班；就新出现的专题和/或当前感兴趣的问题编写简要的信息性摘要；为古迹遗址组织社区各分领域之间以及与支持该领域研究的联邦机构工作人员之间的交流提供一个接口；并开始筹备下一次古迹遗址组织科学十年调查。

This award supports the Committee on Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Science (CAMOS) of the Board on Physics and Astronomy of the National Academies. CAMOS is a standing committee with membership drawn from universities, industry, and government laboratories. Its members have expertise that is intended to cover the full breadth of the atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) sciences. The activities of CAMOS engage a group of leading scientists from across the subfields of AMO science in joint deliberations and provide a learning environment for that body regarding the public-policy process for science and the position of AMO in the broader context of the physical sciences. In addition, CAMOS activities lead to an improved understanding of AMO science by the broader scientific and policy-making communities. By holding multi-disciplinary workshops, preparing short, nontechnical documents, and initiating studies, CAMOS will continue to educate researchers, policy makers, and the general public about advances in AMO science that have impact in other fields of science and technology.CAMOS has the following objectives: to provide active stewardship of the agenda laid out by the most recent decadal study prepared for AMO sciences, "Controlling the Quantum World"; to provide a means by which federal agencies can request technical information and assistance from the NRC about AMO science and related fields, and by which other units in the NRC can obtain expertise on AMO science; to initiate ad hoc studies and workshops on important timely topics in AMO science and/or its multidisciplinary connections with other fields of science and technology; to develop brief informational summaries of emerging topics and/or questions of current interest; to provide an interface for communication among the subfields of the AMO community as well as with the staff of federal agencies that support research in the field; and to begin preparations for the next decadal survey of AMO science.
