Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee
The Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee (CMMRC) is responsible for advising the National Academies' Board on Physics and Astronomy on the fields of condensed matter science and materials research, including the physics, chemistry, and biological applications of these fields. The CMMRC is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy.
In progress
Any project, supported or not by a committee, that is currently being worked on or is considered active, and will have an end date.
Description
The Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee (CMMRC) is responsible for advising the Board on Physics and Astronomy and the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on the fields of condensed matter science and materials research, including the physics, chemistry, and biological applications of these fields.
In conducting its work, the CMMRC holds discussions with researchers in academe, industry, and government laboratories; managers of the research enterprise; and policy leaders in science and technology communities. The committee also meets with representatives from federal agencies providing support for the fields noted above, with those discussions focusing on current programs, policies, trends, and issues. The CMMRC may plan and develop concepts for studies and other activities (e.g., workshops), which are to be carried out by separately appointed ad hoc committees/panels and can result in National Academies reports. The CMMRC will also use the findings and recommendations of the sponsor-commissioned decadal survey as an important reference when developing concepts, organizing its meetings, and in discussions with experts and federal agencies.
