Leadership Support for Core Activities of the Board on Behavioral, Cognitive and Sensory Sciences

位于华盛顿的美国国家科学院、医学院和工程院（National Academies of Sciences，Medicine and Engineering）于1863年成立，其使命是就科学问题向政府提供建议。行为，认知和感官科学委员会（BBCSS）由美国国家科学基金会提供原始资金成立，近20年来一直是美国国家科学院以及外部国家和国际利益相关者行为，认知和感官科学的主要声音。BBCSS促进对复杂的科学和政策问题的跨学科研究，提请注意行为科学的国家政策举措，并聘请研究科学家制定行为科学的发展方向的愿景。 它还为研究人员、公众、媒体、国会、专业协会、国家科学基金会和其他联邦机构在其监督的各种活动中进行客观、独立和严格的审议提供了一个论坛。 该奖项支持董事会的核心活动。BBCSS负责监督许多共识研究，研讨会，专家会议和研讨会，涉及数百名来自行为科学高层的志愿者专家。在该奖项涵盖的五年中，将讨论几个主题，包括可靠的科学：可复制性，可复制性和可推广性;教育与行为和认知科学;整个生命周期的大脑和行为;以及国家安全的社会和行为科学。可在麻管局的公开网站上跟踪这些专题（以及可能出现的其他专题）的进展情况。

The National Academies of Sciences, Medicine and Engineering (The National Academies) in Washington, DC was chartered in 1863 with the mission of advising the government on scientific matters. The Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences (BBCSS), set up with original funding from the National Science Foundation, has functioned as the primary voice for behavioral, cognitive, and sensory sciences for nearly 20 years within the National Academies and to external national and international stakeholders. BBCSS promotes cross-disciplinary inquiry into complex scientific and policy questions, draws attention to the behavioral sciences for national policy initiatives, and engages research scientists to develop a vision of where the behavioral sciences are headed. It also provides a forum for objective, independent, and rigorous deliberation among researchers, the public, the media, Congress, professional associations, the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies in a variety of activities that it oversees. This award supports the core activites of the Board. BBCSS oversees numerous consensus studies, workshops, expert meetings, and seminars involving hundreds of volunteer experts drawn from the top echelons of the behavioral sciences. Several themes will be addressed in the five years covered by this award, including Reliable Science: Replicability, Reproducibility and Generalizability; Education and the Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences; Brain and Behavior Across the Life Span; and Social and Behavioral Sciences for National Security. Progress made on these themes (and additional ones that may emerge) can be tracked on the Board's publicly-accessible website.
