Driven by discoveries, and enabled by leaps in technology and imagination, our understanding of the Universe has changed dramatically over the course of the last few decades. The fields of astronomy and astrophysics continue to create new connections to physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science. Realizing these scientific opportunities is contingent upon maintaining and strengthening the foundations of the research enterprise. With the decadal survey New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics as a basis, the Mid-Decadal Committee, formed with this award under the auspices of the Board on Physics and Astronomy and the Space Studies Board at the National Academy of Sciences, will identify issues of concern to the astronomy and astrophysics community and provide guidance to federal agencies regarding their astronomy and astrophysics research programs in order to encourage the field?s scientific progress.The activities of the Mid-Decadal Committee serve to disseminate information from the supporting agencies into the broader scientific community and the public, as well as provide the agency officials with community-based input. The committee will gather input from the astronomy, astrophysics, and physics communities. Additionally, members of the committee will engage with agency officials, congressional staff, and other members of the astronomy and astrophysics community on topics relevant to the study.

在发现和想象力方面的突飞猛进的驱动下，我们对宇宙的理解在过去几十年的过程中发生了巨大变化。天文学和天体物理学领域继续与物理，化学，生物学和计算机科学建立新的联系。意识到这些科学机会取决于维持和加强研究企业的基础。凭借年代际调查的新世界，天文学和天体物理学的新视野作为基础，成年委员会在物理和天文学委员会的主持下以及美国国家科学院的太空研究委员会的主持下，在该奖项中成立了这一奖项，是否会确定对他们的天文学和天文学阶层的阶级研究，以指导其对天文学的阶级和阶步的阶级？进步。中期委员会的活动旨在将支持机构的信息传播到更广泛的科学界和公众，并为机构官员提供基于社区的投入。该委员会将从天文学，天体物理学和物理社区收集意见。此外，该委员会的成员将与机构官员，国会工作人员以及与研究相关的主题的天文学和天体物理学社区的其他成员互动。
