Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences

美国国家科学基金会为美国国家科学院的行为、认知和感觉科学委员会（BBCSS）提供部分资助。该委员会由众多杰出的专家学者组成，通过会议和研讨会促进有关政策议题的信息和思想交流，并探索可能导致新的重要研究的途径（例如通过规划会议）。委员会提供高质量的分析和合理的科学判断，为决策提供信息，并指导委员会任务所代表的不同领域的研究议程。它还将政府决策者与世界上最杰出的科学家聚集在一起，引发对潜在重大科学发展和政策问题的前瞻性思考。它还与国家科学院的其他委员会和部门合作，如医学研究所和地球与生命科学部。董事会及其各委员会的工作都要遵守科学院在严谨、卓越和同行评审方面的高标准。赞助BBCSS还将支持保留经验丰富的员工，这些员工可以对出现的要求和机会作出反应，以提高BBCSS履行其使命和责任的能力。委员会的工作在推动行为科学研究方面的影响可以从资助此类研究的多个联邦机构的研究议程中看出。该委员会影响各种领域的公共政策，例如国家安全（帮助情报分析人员使用决策工具）、人力资本（对教育和学习的贡献）以及人类与技术进步的互动。重要的是，国家科学院的认可确保了对行为、认知和感觉科学委员会的产品和活动的关注。

The National Science Foundation is providing partial funding for sponsorship of the Board on Behavioral, Cognitive and Sensory Sciences (BBCSS) at the National Academies of Science. This board, comprised of an impressive range of expertise with outstanding scholars as its members, facilitates the exchange of information and ideas on topical policy issues through meetings and workshops, and explores avenues (e.g. through planning meetings) that may lead to new and important studies. The Board offers high-quality analysis and sound scientific judgment to inform policy decisions and to guide research agendas in the diverse fields that are represented by the Board's mandate. It also brings together government decision makers with the world's most prominent scientists to elicit forward thinking about potentially significant scientific developments and policy issues. It also collaborates with other Boards and Divisions within the National Academies such as the Institute of Medicine and the Division of Earth and Life Sciences. The work of the Board and of its committees is subject to the Academies' high scientific standards for rigor, excellence, and peer review. Sponsorship of BBCSS will also support the retention of experienced staff who can be responsive to requests and opportunities as they arise to enhance the ability of the BBCSS to meet its mission and fulfill its responsibilities.The impact of the Board's work in advancing behavioral science research can be seen in the research agendas of multiple Federal agencies that fund such research. The Board influences public policy in a variety of areas such as national security (helping intelligence analysts with decision-making tools), human capital (contributions to education and learning), and human interactions with technological advances. Importantly, the imprimatur of the National Academies ensures attention to the products and activities of the Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences.
