Partial Support Of the Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee

* 技术摘要 * 本项目为国家研究理事会（NRC）凝聚态物质和材料研究委员会（CMMRC）提供部分支持。 CMMRC是一个多学科小组，成员来自大学，工业和政府实验室。 该委员会所代表的专业领域旨在涵盖凝聚态物质和材料研究领域的全部广度。委员会成员的被提名者一直并将继续根据在这些领域表现出的知识领导能力和对交叉问题的深思熟虑来挑选。CMMRC的业务准则包括以下目标：（1）对技术信息和援助请求作出回应;（2）发起并监督这些领域的研究及其与其他科学和技术领域的强有力的多学科联系的开展和出版;（3）充当凝聚态物质和材料研究界的教育资源;（4）为凝聚态物质和材料研究提供技术支持。以及（4）为凝聚态和材料科学家以及华盛顿特区的政策制定者提供一个讨论的论坛。为了实现这些目标，CMMRC每半年举行一次会议，在这些会议之间，通过电话会议开展业务。* CMMRC的活动将在两个方面产生更广泛的影响。 首先，这些活动使凝聚态和材料科学各分领域的一批顶尖科学家参与联合审议，并为该机构提供一个学习环境，了解科学的公共政策进程以及这些领域在更广泛的物理科学背景下的地位。 第二，CMMRC活动导致更广泛的科学和决策社区对凝聚态和材料科学的理解得到提高。 通过举办多学科研讨会和市政厅会议，并启动研究，CMMRC将继续教育研究人员，政策制定者和公众有关凝聚态物质和材料科学的进步，这些进步对其他科学和技术领域产生影响。

****Technical Abstract****This project provides partial support for the National Research Council's (NRC) Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee (CMMRC). The CMMRC is a multidisciplinary group with membership drawn from universities, industry, and government laboratories. The areas of expertise represented on the committee are intended to cover the full breadth of the condensed matter and materials research fields. Nominees for committee membership have been and will continue to be selected on the basis of demonstrated intellectual leadership in these areas and thoughtful consideration of cross-cutting issues. The operating guidelines of CMMRC include the following objectives: (1) to respond to requests for technical information and assistance; (2) to initiate and oversee the conduct and publication of studies in these fields and their strong multidisciplinary connections to other fields of science and technology; (3) to act as an educational resource for the condensed matter and materials research communities; and (4) 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 semiannual basis and between those meetings, conducts its business through telephone conferences.****Non-technical Abstract****The activities of CMMRC will generate broader impacts in two ways. 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 multi-disciplinary workshops and town hall meetings, and initiating studies, CMMRC will continue to educate researchers, policy makers, and the general public about advances in condensed matter and materials science that have impact in other fields of science and technology.
