This award supports the Committee on Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Science (CAMOS) of the Board on Physics and Astronomy of the National Academies. CAMOS is a standing committee with membership drawn from universities, industry, and government laboratories. Its members have expertise that is intended to cover the full breadth of the atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) sciences. The activities of CAMOS engage a group of leading scientists from across the subfields of AMO science in joint deliberations and provide a learning environment for that body regarding the public-policy process for science and the position of AMO in the broader context of the physical sciences. In addition, CAMOS activities lead to an improved understanding of AMO science by the broader scientific and policy-making communities. By holding multi-disciplinary workshops, preparing short, nontechnical documents, and initiating studies, CAMOS will continue to educate researchers, policy makers, and the general public about advances in AMO science that have impact in other fields of science and technology.CAMOS has the following objectives: to provide active stewardship of the agenda laid out by the most recent decadal study prepared for AMO sciences, "Controlling the Quantum World"; to provide a means by which federal agencies can request technical information and assistance from the NRC about AMO science and related fields, and by which other units in the NRC can obtain expertise on AMO science; to initiate ad hoc studies and workshops on important timely topics in AMO science and/or its multidisciplinary connections with other fields of science and technology; to develop brief informational summaries of emerging topics and/or questions of current interest; to provide an interface for communication among the subfields of the AMO community as well as with the staff of federal agencies that support research in the field; and to begin preparations for the next decadal survey of AMO science.

该奖项支持美国国家科学院物理和天文学委员会的原子、分子和光学科学委员会 (CAMOS)。 CAMOS 是一个常设委员会，成员来自大学、工业界和政府实验室。其成员拥有涵盖原子、分子和光学 (AMO) 科学各个领域的专业知识。 CAMOS 的活动吸引了来自 AMO 科学各个子领域的一批领先科学家进行联合审议，并为该机构提供了一个学习环境，了解科学的公共政策流程以及 AMO 在更广泛的物理科学背景下的地位。此外，CAMOS 活动还提高了更广泛的科学界和政策制定界对 AMO 科学的理解。通过举办多学科研讨会、准备简短的非技术性文件和启动研究，CAMOS 将继续向研究人员、政策制定者和公众宣传 AMO 科学的进步，这些进步对其他科学技术领域产生了影响。CAMOS 拥有以下目标： 积极管理为 AMO 科学准备的最新十年研究“控制量子世界”所制定的议程；提供一种方法，联邦机构可以通过该方法向 NRC 请求有关 AMO 科学及相关领域的技术信息和援助，并且 NRC 的其他单位可以通过该方法获得 AMO 科学方面的专业知识； 启动关于 AMO 科学和/或其与其他科学技术领域的多学科联系的重要及时主题的特别研究和研讨会；对当前感兴趣的新主题和/或问题进行简短的信息摘要；为 AMO 社区各个子领域之间以及与支持该领域研究的联邦机构工作人员之间的沟通提供接口； 并开始为下一次 AMO 科学十年调查做准备。
