PARTIAL SUPPORT OF THE CONDENSED MATTER AND MATERIAL RESEARCH COMMITTEE

非技术说明：本项目为美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院凝聚态材料研究委员会（CMMRC）提供为期一年的部分支持。CMMRC的影响超出了凝聚态物质和材料研究界的范围。首先，这些活动吸引了一群来自凝聚态物质和材料科学各个子领域的顶尖科学家进行联合讨论，并为该机构提供了一个关于科学公共政策过程和这些领域在更广泛的物理科学背景下的地位的学习环境。其次，CMMRC的活动促进了更广泛的科学和决策团体对凝聚态物质和材料科学的理解。通过举办重点会议和启动研究，CMMRC将继续教育研究人员、政策制定者和公众关于凝聚态和材料科学的进展及其对其他科学技术领域和社会的有益影响。技术说明：本项目为美国科学院、工程院和医学院凝聚态材料研究委员会（CMMRC）提供为期一年的部分支持。CMMRC由来自大学、工业和政府实验室的成员组成，他们的专业知识旨在涵盖凝聚态物质和材料研究领域的广度。CMMRC的总体指导方针包括以下目标：(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每半年召开一次会议，在这些会议之间，通过电话会议开展业务。在该提案涵盖的一年期间，CMMRC将花时间与赞助商合作，为下一个3年的更新制定一套适当的活动。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Non-Technical Description:This project provides one-year partial support for the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine's ("National Academies") Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee (CMMRC). CMMRC's impact goes beyond the confines of the condensed matter and materials research communities. First, these activities engage a group of leading scientists from across the subfields of condensed matter and materials science in joint deliberations and provide a learning environment for that body regarding the public-policy process for science and the position of those fields in the broader context of the physical sciences. Second, CMMRC activities lead to an improved understanding of condensed matter and materials science by the broader scientific and policy-making communities. By holding focused sessions and initiating studies, CMMRC will continue to educate researchers, policy makers, and the general public about advances in condensed matter and materials science and their beneficial impact in other fields of science and technology and for society, in general.Technical Description:This project provides one-year partial support for the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine"s ("National Academies") Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee (CMMRC). The CMMRC consists of members drawn from universities, industry, and government laboratories, with expertise intended to cover the breadth of the condensed matter and materials research fields. The overarching 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 a semi-annual basis and between those meetings, conducts its business through telephone conferences. During the one-year period covered by this proposal, CMMRC will devote time to working with sponsors in developing a set of appropriate activities for proposal for the next 3-year renewal.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
