The Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP), located at the University of California at Santa Barbara, will continue to provide a meeting ground where scientists get together and engage in the exchange of ideas with the goal of stimulating new research collaborations, breakthroughs, and advances in numerous areas of physics. The ITP sponsors thematic programs from as short as three weeks to as long as six months. Program topics are selected by the ITP Advisory Board from proposals solicited from the scientific community. Topics are chosen on the basis of their potential to stimulate progress in an area that is particularly timely and/or novel and are often of a multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary character. In association with the long-term programs, the ITP generally sponsors two conferences to receive input from the community and to disseminate results to a wider audience. In addition, shorter mini-programs are conducted when propitious.The ITP is the permanent home of four researchers, who are also tenured faculty at UCSB, and who provide scientific leadership in their specialties and help the Director guide the ITP and endow the ITP with experience and continuity over time. Each is a world class scientist in his own right who occasionally helps organize a program but continually interacts with resident program organizers and other visiting scientists. The ITP also sponsors a group of Postdoctoral Fellows who are exposed to the wide range of forefront topics and scientific leaders. Through the ITP Scholars Program, the ITP fosters the research efforts of faculty not at major research universities and reaches out to faculty not normally served by ITP programs. The ITP also plays an educational role by bringing Graduate Student Fellows from other universities to visit the ITP for a semester or year.The ITP is governed by the Director, assisted by the Deputy Director and the four permanent members, with the counsel of an Advisory Board consisting of a diverse group of scientists having a wide variety of experiences and expertise. Under this award, the ITP will receive financial support from the NSF Divisions of Astronomical Sciences, Materials Research, Mathematical Sciences and Physics. It also receives substantial financial support from the University of California at Santa Barbara.

位于加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校的理论物理研究所 (ITP) 将继续为科学家们提供一个聚会场所，让他们齐聚一堂，交流思想，以期促进物理学众多领域的新研究合作、突破和进步。 ITP 赞助的主题项目短则三周，长则六个月。 计划主题由 ITP 顾问委员会从科学界征求的提案中选出。 主题的选择是基于其促进特别及时和/或新颖的领域取得进展的潜力，并且通常具有多学科或跨学科特征。 结合长期计划，ITP 通常会主办两次会议，以接收社区的意见并向更广泛的受众传播结果。 此外，在有利的情况下还会开展较短的小项目。ITP 是四名研究人员的永久住所，他们也是 UCSB 的终身教员，他们在各自的专业领域提供科学领导，帮助主任指导 ITP，并随着时间的推移赋予 ITP 经验和连续性。 每个人本身都是世界级的科学家，他们偶尔帮助组织一个项目，但不断与常驻项目组织者和其他访问科学家互动。 ITP 还资助了一批博士后研究员，他们接触广泛的前沿主题和科学领袖。 通过 ITP 学者计划，ITP 促进非主要研究型大学的教职人员的研究工作，并接触到通常不接受 ITP 项目服务的教职人员。 ITP 还发挥教育作用，邀请其他大学的研究生来 ITP 参观一个学期或一年。ITP 由主任管理，由副主任和四名常任成员协助，顾问委员会由具有广泛经验和专业知识的多元化科学家组成。 根据该奖项，ITP 将获得 NSF 天文科学、材料研究、数学科学和物理部门的财政支持。 它还获得了加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的大量财政支持。
