Enhancing Access to the Radio Spectrum (EARS) is a multi-disciplinary activity whose goal is to improve the efficiency with which the radio spectrum is utilized and to improve access to the radio spectrum in support of current and new technologies. Achieving these goals will, among other impacts, improve the availability of wireless broadband to Americans presently without broadband access, as called for in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Because the radio spectrum is a valuable but finite natural resource, improvements in spectrum efficiency will have significant economic impact to the nation and the world. This award funds the first step, which is an invitational workshop that will bring together some of the key researchers and policy makers involved in radio spectrum access. All relevant fields will be represented, including science, engineering, economics, and policy/regulatory. The output of the workshop will include a vision for the future of radio spectrum access and use, and a prioritized list of research areas that can help achieve that vision.

增强无线电频谱的获取（EARS）是一项多学科活动，其目标是提高无线电频谱的利用效率并改善无线电频谱的获取以支持当前和新技术。除其他影响外，实现这些目标将改善目前没有宽带接入的美国人的无线宽带可用性，正如《美国复苏和再投资法案》所要求的那样。由于无线电频谱是一种宝贵但有限的自然资源，频谱效率的提高将对国家和世界产生重大的经济影响。该奖项为第一步提供资金，这是一个邀请研讨会，将汇集一些参与无线电频谱接入的关键研究人员和政策制定者。所有相关领域都将派代表参加，包括科学、工程、经济和政策/监管。研讨会的成果将包括对无线电频谱接入和使用未来的愿景，以及有助于实现这一愿景的研究领域的优先列表。
