Partial Support of the Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee

摘要：本项目为美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院凝聚态材料研究委员会（CMMRC）提供为期3年的部分支持。CMMRC是一个多学科小组，成员来自大学、工业界和政府实验室。它为国家科学院提供专业知识，并为凝聚态物质和材料研究界提供支持。CMMRC参与的活动包括组织关于材料/凝聚态研究前沿领域的专题研讨会，以及准备和分发这些会议的书面摘要。通过其半年度会议和社区外展，CMMRC为社区成员和支持这些领域研究的机构提供了有意义的参与机会。最后，它参与对凝聚态物质和材料研究界有益的国家科学院项目的发展，并协助为影响这些领域的国家科学院报告提供长期管理，包括材料研究十年调查。技术摘要：本项目为美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院凝聚态材料研究委员会（CMMRC）提供为期3年的部分支持。CMMRC是一个多学科小组，成员来自大学、工业和政府实验室。委员会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。CMMRC在凝聚态物质和材料研究社区中的作用是充当这些社区与联邦政府（包括支持这项研究的机构）之间互动的渠道，并监测这些领域的健康状况和重要的新发展。CMMRC已经使用并计划继续使用的机制包括：(1)与赞助机构合作，发起和监督专注于前沿研究领域的年度研讨会，并起草研讨会纪要，总结演讲和随后的讨论；(2)在国家科学院内开展其他特殊论坛，如专家会议，并在需要时与凝聚态物质和材料研究相关的报告生成研究；(3)每年举行两次面对面会议，允许凝聚态物质和材料研究界的成员以及支持这些领域的机构的代表参与；(4)为CMMRC帮助开发和/或影响凝聚态物质和材料研究界的报告提供长期管理；(5)与专业协会和FACA委员会就凝聚态物质和材料研究进行互动；(6)在影响凝聚态物质和材料研究领域的国家科学院活动的发展中，为其他常设委员会和董事会提供资源和专家建议。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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 Abstract: This project provides partial, 3-year support for the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s (National Academies’) Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee (CMMRC). The CMMRC is a multidisciplinary group, with membership drawn from universities, industry, and government laboratories. It provides expertise to the National Academies and support for the condensed matter and materials research communities. Among the activities that the CMMRC engages in are the organizing of topical workshops on frontier areas of materials/condensed matter research, and the preparation and distribution of written summaries of those proceedings. Through its semi-annual meetings and community outreach, the CMMRC provides opportunities for meaningful engagement among members of the community and the agencies that support research in these fields. Finally, it participates in the development of National Academies’ projects that are of benefit to the condensed matter and materials research communities, and assists in providing long-term stewardship of National Academies’ reports that impact these fields, including the materials research decadal survey. Technical Abstract: This project provides partial, 3-year support for the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine’s (“National Academies”) 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. CMMRC’s roles within the condensed matter and materials research communities are to serve as a conduit for interactions between these communities and the federal government, including the agencies that support this research, and to monitor the health of and important new developments in these fields. Among the mechanisms that CMMRC has used and proposes to continue to use to fulfill its charge are (1) working with sponsoring agencies to initiate and oversee annual workshops that focus on frontier areas of research, and drafting workshop proceedings that summarize the presentations and ensuing discussions; (2) working within the National Academies to develop other special forums such as meetings of experts, and report-generating studies that relate to condensed matter and materials research, where needed; (3) conducting two face-to-face meetings each year that permit engagement among members of the condensed matter and materials research communities and representatives of agencies that support these fields; (4) providing long-term stewardship of reports that CMMRC helped to develop and/or that impact the condensed matter and materials research communities; (5) interacting with the professional societies and FACA committees for condensed matter and materials research; and (6) serving as a resource and providing expert advice to other standing committees and boards in the development of National Academies’ activities that impact the condensed matter and materials research fields.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.
