This award support attendance of United States graduate students at the "John Archibald Wheeler" International School on Astrophysical Relativity course entitled "Frontiers in Numerical Gravitational Astrophysics." The course will take place June 27-July 5, 2008, in Erice, Italy. The course objective is to present the gamut of computational techniques for both Newtonian and General Relativistic gravitational computation in Astrophysics. Twenty one distinguished specialists in the field will lecture at the course. Attendees will be an international group of graduate students and early career postdocs. The course will promote international collaboration and will develop and extend the skill set of students (and lecturers) in computational science. Techniques studied will be specialized to the astrophysical setting but are generally applicable to a broad range of complex problems in all the sciences, including economics and demographics, as well as the traditional "hard" sciences. This award is co-funded by the Divisions of Physics and Astronomical Sciences.

该奖项支持参加“约翰·阿奇博尔德·惠勒”国际学院天体物理相对论课程的美国研究生，该课程名为“数值引力天体物理学前沿”。该课程将于2008年6月27日至7月5日在意大利的Erice举行。本课程的目标是介绍天体物理学中牛顿和广义相对论引力计算的计算技术范围。该领域的21位杰出专家将在该课程上授课。与会者将是一个由研究生和早期职业博士后组成的国际团体。该课程将促进国际合作，并将发展和扩展学生（和讲师）在计算科学方面的技能。所研究的技术将专门用于天体物理环境，但一般适用于所有科学中的广泛复杂问题，包括经济学和人口统计学，以及传统的“硬科学”。该奖项由物理部和天文科学部共同资助。
