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）响应国家科学院内部和外部联邦研究机构对技术信息和援助的请求;（2）发起和监督这些领域的特别研究及其与其他科学和技术领域的多学科联系;（3）作为CMMRC指导下发起的研究的长期管理者;（4）作为凝聚态物质和材料研究团体以及支持他们的机构的教育资源;以及（5）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每年举行一次会议，在这些会议之间，通过电话会议开展业务。非技术摘要 * CMMRC的影响超出了凝聚态和材料研究社区的范围。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，政策制定者和公众关于凝聚态物质和材料科学的进展及其在其他科学和技术领域的有益影响，并为社会，一般。

****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 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, both from within the National Academies and from outside federal research agencies; (2) to initiate and oversee ad hoc studies in these fields and their multidisciplinary connections to other fields of science and technology; (3) to serve as long-term stewards for studies initiated under CMMRC's direction; (4) to act as an educational resource for the condensed matter and materials research communities and the agencies that support them; and (5) 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 an annual basis and between those meetings, conducts its business through telephone conferences.****Non-technical Abstract****CMMRC's impact goes beyond the confines of the condensed matter and materials research communities. 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 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 and their beneficial impact in other fields of science and technology and for society, in general.
