A National Network for Critical Technology Assessment: A Pilot

职务名称：关键技术评估国家网络：试点摘要：关键技术评估国家网络试点旨在为评估美国在关键新兴技术上的全球竞争力奠定基础，并确定联邦科学和技术投资在何处以及如何应用，以提高美国的竞争力和美国公民的福祉。利用数据、先进分析和专家见解，国家网络试点工作将确定可用于获得政策见解的方法，并了解在哪些方面需要额外的分析工具和数据资源来推动全面分析和决策。该国家网络将汇集一个多学科专家组，将自上而下的方法与自下而上的方法相结合，前者用于扫描知识、生产和人力资本方面的全球能力，后者用于开发和展示各种方法，以确定科学和技术投资的机会，从而提高国家竞争力。自下而上的方法将通过在四个关键技术领域的深入研究来实现：人工智能，生物技术，能源存储和半导体。这两种方法的结果将被综合成一个最终的关键技术评估报告。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

Title: A National Network for Critical Technology Assessment: A PilotAbstract: The National Network for Critical Technology Assessment Pilot seeks to lay the foundation for the ability to assess U.S. global competitiveness on key emerging technologies and identify where and how Federal science and technology investments can be applied to advance U.S. competitiveness and the well-being of U.S. citizens. Using data, advanced analytics, and expert insights, the national network pilot effort will identify methods that could be employed to derive policy insights and develop an understanding of where additional analytical tools and data resources are needed to drive comprehensive analysis and decision-making. Bringing together a multidisciplinary group of experts, the national network will pair a top-down approach to scan global capabilities in knowledge, production, and human capital with a bottom-up approach to develop and demonstrate methods to identify opportunities for science and technology investment to advance national competitiveness. The bottom-up approach will be accomplished through deep dives in four key technology areas: artificial intelligence, biotechnology, energy storage, and semiconductors. The outcomes of both approaches will be synthesized into a final Critical Technology Assessment report.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.
