PARTIAL SUPPORT OF THE CONDENSED MATTER AND MATERIALS RESEARCH COMMITTEE

该奖项为凝聚态物质和材料研究委员会（CMMRC）的活动提供部分支持。CMMRC是美国国家科学院物理和天文学委员会的一个小组委员会，其任务是充当凝聚态物质和材料研究团体与联邦政府（包括支持这项研究的机构）之间互动的渠道，并监测这些领域的健康状况并确定重要的新发展。CMMRC的成员是来自凝聚态物质和材料研究的所有子领域的顶尖科学家。CMMRC通过定期会议讨论新兴研究领域，与赞助机构合作组织专题研讨会，与专业协会互动，并为公众开发资源来履行其使命。本项目为美国国家研究委员会（NRC）凝聚态材料研究委员会（CMMRC）提供部分支持。CMMRC是一个多学科小组，成员来自大学、工业和政府实验室。委员会代表的专业领域旨在涵盖凝聚态物质和材料研究领域的广度。委员会成员的提名已经并将继续根据在这些领域表现出的智力领导和对交叉问题的深思熟虑来选择。CMMRC的操作指南包括以下目标：(1)响应来自国家科学院内部和联邦研究机构外部的技术信息和援助请求；（二）发起和监督本领域的专题研究及其与其他科学技术领域的多学科联系；（三）长期负责CMMRC指导下的研究工作；(4)为凝聚态物质和材料研究界以及支持他们的机构提供教育资源；(5)为凝聚态物质和材料科学家与华盛顿政策制定者之间的讨论提供论坛。为了实现这些目标，CMMRC每年召开一次会议，在这些会议之间，通过电话会议开展业务。

Non-technical AbstractThis award provides partial support for the activities of the Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee (CMMRC). The CMMRC is a sub-committee of the National Academy of Science Board on Physics and Astronomy and is tasked with serving as a conduit for interactions between the condensed matter and materials research communities and the federal government, including the agencies that support this research, and with monitoring the health of and identifying important new developments in these fields. The members of the CMMRC are leading scientists from across all the subfields encompassed by condensed matter and materials research. The CMMRC carries out its mission using regular meetings to discuss emerging research areas, working with sponsoring agencies to organize topical workshops, interacting with professional societies, and developing resources for the general public. Technical AbstractThis project provides partial support for the National Research Council's (NRC) Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee (CMMRC). The CMMRC is a multidisciplinary group with membership drawn from universities, industry, and government laboratories. The areas of expertise represented on the committee are intended to cover the breadth of the condensed matter and materials research fields. Nominees for committee membership have been and will continue to be selected on the basis of demonstrated intellectual leadership in these areas and thoughtful consideration of cross-cutting issues. The operating guidelines of CMMRC include the following objectives: (1) to respond to requests for technical information and assistance, both from within the National Academies and from outside federal research agencies; (2) to initiate and oversee ad hoc studies in these fields and their multidisciplinary connections to other fields of science and technology; (3) to serve as long-term stewards for studies initiated under CMMRC's direction; (4) to act as an educational resource for the condensed matter and materials research communities and the agencies that support them; and (5) to provide a forum for discussion among condensed matter and materials scientists and Washington D.C. policymakers. To carry out those objectives, CMMRC meets on an annual basis and between those meetings, conducts its business through telephone conferences.
