PARTIAL SUPPORT OF THE CONDENSED MATTER AND MATERIAL RESEARCH COMMITTEE

非技术描述：该项目为美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院（“国家科学院”）的凝聚态物质和材料研究委员会（CMMRC）提供为期一年的部分支持。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。通过举办专题会议和开展研究，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对其他科学和技术领域以及社会的有益影响。技术说明：本项目为美国国家科学院，工程院和医学院（“国家科学院”）凝聚态物质和材料研究委员会（CMMRC）提供为期一年的部分支持。CMMRC由来自大学，工业和政府实验室的成员组成，他们的专业知识旨在涵盖凝聚态物质和材料研究领域的广度。CMMRC的总体指导方针包括以下目标：（1）响应来自国家科学院内部和来自联邦研究机构外部的技术信息和援助请求;（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。 在本提案所涵盖的一年期间，CMMRC将与赞助商合作，为下一个3年更新的提案制定一套适当的活动。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Non-Technical Description:This project provides one-year partial support for the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine's ("National Academies") Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee (CMMRC). 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 focused sessions 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.Technical Description:This project provides one-year partial support for the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine"s ("National Academies") Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee (CMMRC). The CMMRC consists of members drawn from universities, industry, and government laboratories, with expertise intended to cover the breadth of the condensed matter and materials research fields. The overarching 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 a semi-annual basis and between those meetings, conducts its business through telephone conferences. During the one-year period covered by this proposal, CMMRC will devote time to working with sponsors in developing a set of appropriate activities for proposal for the next 3-year renewal.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
