Support of Committee on Radio Frequencies

无线电频率委员会(Corf)由美国国家科学院(NAS)于1961年成立，自1963年以来一直得到国家科学基金会(NSF)的某种形式的支持。委员会的活动主要涉及射电天文学问题。1969年，空间科学小组委员会加入了现有的射电天文学小组委员会，美国国家航空航天局开始为Corf提供约25%的支持。科协是科学研究无线电频率要求的非政府中心。多年来，在国家和国际频谱管理论坛上，特别是在美国筹备世界行政无线电会议期间，CORF在代表科学界的需求方面发挥了主导作用。在过去的25年里，国家安全局一直以专业的方式管理着科罗夫论坛，这一安排继续下去是适当的。科研院所就无线电频谱用于研究目的向国家科学基金会和其他政府机构提供及时和权威的咨询和建议。国家科学基金会与科协及其两个小组委员会的活动直接相关，并通过电磁频谱管理股与委员会密切合作。CORF对NSF的投入具有特别的价值，因为NSF代表国家电信和信息管理局(NTIA)部门间无线电咨询委员会(IRAC)对无线电频谱的研究使用。Corf在1987-1988年期间的活动将围绕国内频谱分配活动、参加国际无线电协商委员会本轮会议、筹备即将举行的国际电信联盟移动世界行政无线电会议以及就执行其最后文件提供咨询意见。科协还将参加即将召开的轨道世界行政无线电会议的筹备工作。随着无线电频谱竞争的日益激烈，CORF在国家和国际频谱管理中的作用变得更加重要。强烈建议在1987-1988年期间支持科罗夫项目。国家工作队请求在1987-1990年期间向科罗夫提供支助。由于审查员对Corf的行政管理表示一些关切，54000美元的建议用于支付1987-1988年国家基金对Corf的捐款。NAS应该提交一份新的提案，以满足审查者的要求。

The Committee on Radio Frequencies (CORF) was formed by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in 1961, and it has been supported in some form by the National Science Foundation (NSF) since 1963. Committee activities have predominantly involved radio astronomy issues. In 1969, the Subcommittee on Space Science was added to the existing Subcommittee on Radio Astronomy, and NASA began contributing approximately 25 percent of the support for CORF. The CORF is the nongovernmental focal point for radio frequency requirements for scientific research. Over the years, the CORF has played a leading role in representing the needs of the scientific community in national and international spectrum management forums, particularly during U.S. preparations for World Administrative Radio Conferences. The NAS has administered the CORF expertly for the past 25 years, and it is appropriate for that arrangement to continue. The CORF provides timely and authoritative advice and recommendations to the NSF and other Government agencies on the use of the radio spectrum for research purposes. The NSF has a direct interest in the activities of CORF and its two Subcommittees and cooperates closely with the Committee through the Electromagnetic Spectrum Management Unit. Input from the CORF to the NSF is of particular value since the NSF represents the research use of the radio spectrum on the Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC) of the National Telecommunication and Information Administration (NTIA). CORF activities in the 1987-1988 time period will revolve around domestic spectrum allocation activities, participation in the current cycle of meetings of the International Radio Consultative Committee (CCIR), preparations for the upcoming Mobile World Administrative Radio Conference of the International Telecommunication Union and advice on the implementation of its Final Acts. CORF will also participate in the preparations for the upcoming Orbital World Administrative Radio Conference. The role CORF plays in national and international spectrum management is becoming more important with the increasingly intense competition for radio frequency spectrum. Support for CORF for the 1987-1988 time period is highly recommended. The NAS requested support for CORF for the period 1987-1990. Due to some concern expressed by the reviewers regarding the administration of CORF, the recommendation for $54,000 covers the NSF contribution to CORF for 1987-1988. The NAS should submit a new proposal to satisfy the reviewers.
