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

位于华盛顿特区的美国国家科学院、医学院和工程院（简称“国家科学院”）成立于1863年，其使命是在科学问题上向政府提供建议。行为、认知和感觉科学委员会（BBCSS）由美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation）提供原始资金成立，25年来一直是美国国家科学院以及国内外利益相关者在行为、认知和感觉科学方面的主要代言人。BBCSS促进对复杂科学和政策问题的跨学科研究，为国家政策举措吸引人们对行为和认知科学的关注，并吸引研究科学家对行为和认知科学的发展方向进行展望。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提供客观、独立和严格的审议论坛。该奖项支持董事会的核心活动。BBCSS监督了大量的共识研究、研讨会、专家会议和研讨会，涉及数百名来自行为和认知科学顶级梯队的志愿者专家。BBCSS就一系列主题制作了有影响力的报道，包括科学的可重复性和可重复性；人们如何学习；推进STEM组织的反种族主义、多样性、公平性和包容性；行为科学中的本体；推进团队科学的科学化行为经济学与公共政策；了解老年痴呆症;还有其他许多人。展望未来，该委员会将继续推进与多样性、公平和包容、团队科学、创造力和创新、认知诊断相关的主题，并为与行为、认知和感官科学相关的新兴问题提供新的见解，如近视、嗅觉和健康、健康老龄化和阻止药物滥用。在这些主题（以及可能出现的其他主题）方面取得的进展可在理事会的可公开访问的网站上跟踪。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。

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 25 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 and cognitive sciences for national policy initiatives, and engages research scientists to develop a vision of where the behavioral and cognitive 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 activities 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 and cognitive sciences. BBCSS has produced impactful reports on a range of topics including Reproducibility and Replicability in Science; How People Learn; Advancing Anti-Racism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in STEM Organizations; Ontologies in the Behavioral Sciences; Advancing the Science of Team Science; Behavioral Economics and Public Policy; Understanding Dementia; and many others. Moving forward, the board continues to advance themes related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, team science, creativity and innovation, cognitive diagnostics, as well as lending new insights into emerging issues related to behavioral, cognitive, and sensory sciences, such as myopia, olfaction and health, healthy aging, and stemming substance abuse. Progress made on these themes (and additional ones that may emerge) can be tracked on the Board's publicly accessible website.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.
