The NRSV, or New Revised Standard Version of the Bible, could probably be fairly called the leading ecumenical or scholarly translation of the Christian Bible. It enjoys a position in academia second to no other translation.
The 'classic' NRSV appeared 1989, while in 2021 an NRSVue, NRSV "Updated Edition", appeared, a product of the same National Council of Churches which produced the NRSV. I am not sure yet how it has been received in the scholarly world, and whether it will -- as intended -- supersede the NRSV of 1989.
The NRSV is a revision of the RSV, which went through several stages of revision and translation from the 1940's to the 1970's.
