Research focussed on quantitative investigations of the strong nuclear forces will be performed. The study of the strong forces among elementary particles using quantum chromodynamics, the theory of the strong force, is of critical importance in interpreting the results of experiments using high energy accelerators and in testing the validity of quantum chromodynamics as a central component of the "Standard Model" of elementary particles. The planned research, which will approximate space by a discrete lattice of points and use computers extensively, will also contribute to the important national goal of extending the capabilities of massively parallel supercomputers and of building a pool of mathematical physicists skilled in state of the art of computational physics.

研究集中在强核力的定量调查将进行。利用量子色动力学（即强作用力理论）研究基本粒子之间的强作用力，对于解释高能加速器实验结果和检验量子色动力学作为基本粒子“标准模型”核心组成部分的有效性具有至关重要的意义。这项计划中的研究将通过离散的点格来近似空间，并广泛使用计算机，这也将有助于扩展大规模并行超级计算机的能力，并建立一批精通计算物理技术的数学物理学家。
