This award provides partial core support to the Board on Physics and Astronomy (BPA). The physics and astronomy communities cover a broad and diverse set of research effort. The BPA monitors developments in and assesses the health of the fields that make up this area of research. Its membership is drawn from universities, industry, and national laboratories, and its members' areas of expertise span much of the breadth of physics and astronomy. The experts involved are broadly representative of the community and they provide their informed perspectives on issues that affect the progress and vitality of physics and astronomy research. The principal work to be supported by this award will be to support the board's semi-annual meetings and non-sponsored other activities associated with the board's carrying out its responsibilities to support the physics and astronomy research communities. A principal focus of the BPA in the period covered by this award will be the development and initiation of the next round of physics and astronomy/astrophysics decadal surveys. This award is co-funded by the Divisions of Physics, Astronomical Sciences, and Materials Research, as well as the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities, all within the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

该奖项为物理与天文学委员会（BPA）提供部分核心支持。 物理学和天文学界涵盖了广泛而多样的研究工作。 BPA 监控该研究领域的发展并评估其健康状况。 其成员来自大学、工业界和国家实验室，其成员的专业领域涵盖物理学和天文学的大部分领域。参与的专家广泛代表了社会，他们就影响物理学和天文学研究的进步和活力的问题提供了他们的见多识广的观点。该奖项支持的主要工作将是支持董事会的半年度会议以及与董事会履行支持物理和天文学研究界职责相关的非赞助其他活动。 BPA 在该奖项所涉期间的主要重点将是开发和启动下一轮物理学和天文学/天体物理学十年调查。 该奖项由数学和物理科学理事会的物理、天文科学和材料研究部门以及多学科活动办公室共同资助。
