Core Support for the Board on Life Sciences

该奖项将继续支持美国国家科学院生命科学委员会（BLS）的核心业务。BLS是生命科学中广泛的技术和政策主题的协调中心，包括基因组学，生物多样性保护，生物恐怖主义以及基础生物和生物医学研究中的关键主题，如合成生物学，微生物组和神经科学。BLS组织和监督研究，为政府和科学界提供有关生物科学及其对社会影响的建议。BLS还监督关于改善生物学教育的重要研究，特别是在本科阶段，以及维持一支强大的生命科学队伍。更多信息可在http://dels.nas.edu/bls/.Support上找到，该奖项将使BLS能够：1）每年举行一次董事会会议，2）支持员工有时间为新研究和其他项目开发主题，并执行与已完成研究相关的任务。这些职能对劳工统计局的职能和性质至关重要。

This award will continue support for core operations of the Board of Life Sciences (BLS) of the National Academy of Sciences. The BLS serves as the focal point for a wide range of technical and policy topics in the life sciences, including genomics, biodiversity conservation, bioterrorism, and key topics in basic biological and biomedical research, such as synthetic biology, the microbiome, and neuroscience. The BLS organizes and oversees studies that provide advice to government and the scientific community on the biological sciences and their impact on society. The BLS also oversees important studies on the improvement of biology education, particularly at the undergraduate level, and the maintenance of a robust life sciences workforce. More information can be found at: http://dels.nas.edu/bls/.Support from this award will allow the BLS to: 1) hold one Board meeting per year, and 2) support staff time to develop topics for new studies and other projects and perform tasks related to completed studies. These functions are critical to the function and nature of the BLS.
