The Board on Physics and Astronomy (BPA) serves as the focal point in the National Academies of Sciences and the National Research Council (NRC) for activities related to physics and astronomy and their interactions with engineering, medicine, chemistry, biology, and other sciences. The BPA's principal objectives are to maintain an awareness of the status of research in physics and astronomy, to identify emerging needs, and to initiate studies that address problems and that foster continued progress. The BPA fulfills these objectives by working closely with the physics and astronomy communities in academia, federal agencies and their advisory committees, government laboratories, industry, relevant scientific and technical societies, and other boards and committees of the NRC.Among the important mechanisms used by the BPA to achieve impact are periodic decadal assessments of the fields. The surveys of astronomy and astrophysics and subfields in physics, which the BPA initiates and oversees, have been very effective in establishing a consensus on priorities for major facilities and for addressing broader issues in these fields. By facilitating progress in physics and astronomy, the BPA helps to enrich the nation's intellectual enterprise in academe, industry, and government laboratories.

物理与天文学委员会（BPA）是美国国家科学学院和国家研究委员会（NRC）的焦点，涉及物理和天文学有关的活动及其与工程，医学，化学，生物学和其他科学的互动。 BPA的主要目标是保持对物理和天文学研究状况的认识，以确定新兴的需求，并启动解决问题并促进促进进展的研究。 BPA通过与学术界，联邦机构及其咨询委员会，政府实验室，行业，相关科学和技术社会以及NRC.AMONG的其他董事会和委员会紧密合作，实现了这些目标。 BPA启动和监督的物理学的天文学，天体物理学和子场的调查非常有效，在对主要设施的优先级达成共识并解决这些领域的更广泛问题。通过促进物理和天文学的进步，BPA有助于丰富该国在学术界，工业和政府实验室中的知识企业。
