Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy Core Activities

1961年，美国国家科学院（NAS）创建了一个 委员会，最终演变成 科学，工程和公共政策（COSEPUP）。COSEPUP是 旨在协助NAS主席和理事会履行其职责 为政府最高层提供政策建议 与美国科学技术有关的问题。NSF已经 从一开始就支持COSEPUP。COSEPUP被指控 负责审议新的 科学和技术政策领域的研究， 特别是考虑到联合国的关切和要求， 总统的科学顾问，国家科学基金会主任， 国家科学委员会主席，以及主要的 国会的科学和技术相关委员会。 COSEPUP对国家问题进行重大的独立研究 美国科学技术政策。近年来，对于 例如，它对NSF的科学进行了突出的研究， 技术中心，科学研究生教育和 工程、科学和技术的政策目标，以及 招聘和保留总统任命的人员。在 此外，它还编写了一些指导手册， 科学和工程的学生和教师负责 从事研究，从事科学和工程，以及 指导科学和工程专业的学生。COSEPUP也 举办讲习班和会议，鼓励就关键问题进行对话， 科学和技术政策问题，如最近 博士科学与工程教育会议， 是由许多学科协会和大学共同发起的 组织的

In 1961, the National Academy of Science (NAS) created a committee, that eventually evolved to become the Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy (COSEPUP). COSEPUP was intended to assist the NAS President and Council in their roles of advising the government at the highest levels on policy matters related to U.S. science and technology. The NSF has supported COSEPUP from its onset. Formally, COSEPUP is charged with the responsibility to deliberate on initiatives for new studies in the area of science and technology policy, taking especially into account the concerns and requests of the President s Science Advisor, the Director of the NSF, the Chairman of the National Science Board, and the chairmen of key science and technology-related committees of the Congress . COSEPUP undertakes major independent studies of national issues in U.S. science and technology policy. In recent years, for example, it has conducted prominent studies on NSF s Science and Technology Centers, graduate education in science and engineering, policy goals for science and technology, and recruitment and retention of Presidential appointees. In addition, it has developed a number of guidance manuals on science and engineering for students and faculty on responsible conduct of research, careers in science and engineering, and mentoring of students in science and engineering. COSEPUP also hosts workshops and convocations to encourage dialogue on key science and technology policy issues such as the recent Convocation on Doctoral Science and Engineering Education which was cosponsored by many disciplinary societies and university organizations.
