据《科学政策展望》报道,美国国会众议院科学委员会主席维恩·埃勒斯最近发布了该委员会制订的一项有关美国长期科技政策的重大宣言,这项题为《开启我们的未来:迈向一项新的国家科学政策》（Unlocking Our Future;Toward a New National Science Policy）的报告是旨在对美国已走过的科学历程进行总结并为美国科学应如何迎接一个以知识为基础的全球化世界的挑战而进行定位。埃勒斯领导的委员会的这项报告是在经过7次科学听证会、2次圆桌讨论会以及公众参与的网上意见交流后制订的。 报告扫瞄和覆盖了许多领域,但可以大致归纳于下列三个主要方面: 必须赋予科学获得繁荣的机会,因为它是新的和更好的认识、产品与工艺的先导。必须为联邦研究提供稳定而重大的资助;必须保持研究的多样化与差异性;必须促进富有创造力的突破性研究。 私人部门对于保持美国的整个科学与工程事业发展具有同样的重要作用;必须鼓励以州为基础的经济发展合作伙伴关系。
According to the Science Policy Outlook, Wien Ellis, chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives' Scientific Committee, recently released a major declaration on the long-term US science and technology policy formulated by the Commission, entitled "Enabling Our Future: Towards The report of the Unlocking Our Future; Toward a New National Science Policy is intended to summarize the scientific journey the United States has taken and how American science should embrace a knowledge-based globalization The challenge of the world. This report by Ehlers-led committees was developed after seven scientific hearings, two roundtable discussions and an online exchange of views on public participation. The report scans and covers many areas, but can be broadly summarized in the following three main areas: Science must be given the opportunity to prosper as it is a new and better place to know, product and craft. Stable and significant funding must be provided for federal research; the diversity and variability of research must be preserved; and groundbreaking and creative research must be promoted. The private sector has an equally important role to play in maintaining the entire scientific and engineering career in the United States; a state-based economic development partnership must be encouraged.
