The U.S. National Academy of Sciences will continue its support of the activities of the Committee on Astronomy and Astrophysics (CAA). Using the astronomy and astrophysics decadal surveys, the CAA identifies issues of concern to the astronomy and astrophysics community and provides guidance to federal agencies regarding their astronomy and astrophysics research programs in order to encourage the field’s scientific progress. The committee membership itself is drawn from experts across the astronomy and astrophysics disciplines and as such is able to identify and assess issues and trends which impact the broader multidisciplinary arena.The CAA has a broad impact by acting as an established forum to bring together leading researchers from the scientific community and representatives from across the federal government to discuss emerging research needs and opportunities for the advancement of astronomy and astrophysics. In each ad hoc study that the CAA initiates and oversees, the committee places an emphasis on accessibility by the layperson and promoting the public understanding of science. By identifying cross-cutting issues and/or opportunities, the CAA can enhance the research and education environment.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.

美国国家科学院将继续支持天文学和天体物理学委员会（CAA）的活动。 通过天文学和天体物理学十年调查，CAA 确定了天文学和天体物理学界关注的问题，并向联邦机构提供有关天文学和天体物理学研究计划的指导，以鼓励该领域的科学进步。 委员会成员本身由天文学和天体物理学学科的专家组成，因此能够识别和评估影响更广泛的多学科领域的问题和趋势。CAA 具有广泛的影响力，它作为一个既定的论坛，将科学界的领先研究人员和联邦政府的代表聚集在一起，讨论天文学和天体物理学进步的新兴研究需求和机遇。 在 CAA 发起和监督的每项特别研究中，委员会都强调非专业人士的可及性和促进公众对科学的理解。通过识别跨领域问题和/或机会，CAA 可以改善研究和教育环境。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
