Leadership Support for Core Activities of the Board on Behavioral, Cognitive and Sensory Sciences

位于华盛顿特区的国家科学院、医学和工程院(简称国家科学院)成立于1863年，其使命是就科学问题向政府提供建议。行为、认知和感觉科学委员会(BBCS)由国家科学基金会提供原始资金成立，近20年来一直作为行为、认知和感觉科学在国家科学院内部以及外部国内和国际利益攸关方的主要声音。BBCS促进对复杂的科学和政策问题的跨学科调查，吸引人们对国家政策倡议的行为科学的关注，并吸引研究科学家对行为科学的发展方向进行展望。它还提供了一个论坛，供研究人员、公众、媒体、国会、专业协会、国家科学基金会和其他联邦机构在其监督的各种活动中进行客观、独立和严格的审议。该奖项支持董事会的核心活动。BBCS监督许多共识研究、研讨会、专家会议和研讨会，涉及来自行为科学顶级梯队的数百名志愿者专家。该奖项将在五年内讨论几个主题，包括可靠的科学：可复制性、再现性和普适性；教育与行为和认知科学；整个生命周期的大脑和行为；以及为国家安全服务的社会科学和行为科学。在这些主题(以及可能出现的其他主题)方面取得的进展可在委员会可公开访问的网站上查阅。

The National Academies of Sciences, Medicine and Engineering (The National Academies) in Washington, DC was chartered in 1863 with the mission of advising the government on scientific matters. The Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences (BBCSS), set up with original funding from the National Science Foundation, has functioned as the primary voice for behavioral, cognitive, and sensory sciences for nearly 20 years within the National Academies and to external national and international stakeholders. BBCSS promotes cross-disciplinary inquiry into complex scientific and policy questions, draws attention to the behavioral sciences for national policy initiatives, and engages research scientists to develop a vision of where the behavioral sciences are headed. It also provides a forum for objective, independent, and rigorous deliberation among researchers, the public, the media, Congress, professional associations, the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies in a variety of activities that it oversees. This award supports the core activites of the Board. BBCSS oversees numerous consensus studies, workshops, expert meetings, and seminars involving hundreds of volunteer experts drawn from the top echelons of the behavioral sciences. Several themes will be addressed in the five years covered by this award, including Reliable Science: Replicability, Reproducibility and Generalizability; Education and the Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences; Brain and Behavior Across the Life Span; and Social and Behavioral Sciences for National Security. Progress made on these themes (and additional ones that may emerge) can be tracked on the Board's publicly-accessible website.
