The Institute for Theoretical Physics will continue its very broad and unique effort. The Institute promotes researchintheoretical physics with a particular emphasis, when appro- priate, on problems that cut across the traditional subfields ofphysics. Its main activities are long term research programswhich typically run five to six months. Two programs operate inparallel at any one time, each with twelve to sixteen physicistsin residence. The topics of the programs, which have spannedthe entire gamut of theoretical physics, are usually anoutgrowth of suggestions from the national and internationaltheoretical physics community. Most program coordinators arefrom outside the Institute, although the permanent members oftenplay a major role in these activities. In addition, theInstitute conducts an average of six conferences or workshopsper year, most of which are associated with the long termprograms. The Institute's effort will foster the health of theoret- ical physics generally, and permit particulary effective researchon cross-subfield problems.

理论物理研究所将继续其非常广泛和独特的努力。该研究所促进理论物理的研究，特别强调那些跨越物理学传统子领域的问题。它的主要活动是长期研究计划，通常为期五到六个月。任何时候都有两个程序并行运行，每个程序都有12到16名物理学家常驻。这些项目的主题涵盖了理论物理的所有领域，通常是国内和国际理论物理界建议的结果。大多数方案协调员来自研究所以外，尽管常任理事国往往在这些活动中发挥重要作用。此外，该研究所每年平均举办六次会议或工作坊，其中大部分与长期项目有关。该研究所的努力将促进理论物理的健康发展，并允许对跨子领域问题进行特别有效的研究。
