This award will provide travel and local support for graduate students and senior scientists for the International Summer Program in Astrophysical Modeling. This workshop, being developed by Dr. Pascale Garaud (University of California - Santa Cruz), has a dual goal: to train graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in astrophysical modeling and to promote scientific collaborations between theorists, numericists and observers. The workshop will run for a total of six weeks, and the venue will alternate between Santa Cruz, California and an international location, the first one of which will be in France. The format of the school is highly non-traditional, in the sense that it will not revolve around teaching the students a single particular pre-defined skill or knowledge. Instead, the program begins by presenting the students with interesting topical research problems, and leaves them to decide whichever mathematical/numerical method they are interested in developing to address these problems. Mentoring and support in a wide breadth of technical skills will be provided by the more senior faculty and postdoctoral fellows for the duration of this research program. By fostering multi-disciplinary collaboration, every person in the team will have the opportunity to learn from the others. Mini-workshops will be organized to teach whomever is interested the mathematical/numerical/statistical tools they may need for the project of their choice. The program will be run in an international setting by alternating venues between the United States and the rest of the world to promote international collaborations and introduce the students to the international research community.

该奖项将为研究生和高级科学家提供旅行和当地支持，用于天体物理建模国际暑期项目。 该讲习班由Pascale Garaud博士（加州大学-圣克鲁斯分校）举办，有双重目标：培训天体物理建模方面的研究生和博士后研究员，并促进理论家、数值家和观察员之间的科学合作。研讨会将持续六周，地点将在加州的圣克鲁斯和一个国际地点之间交替，其中第一个地点将在法国。 学校的形式是高度非传统的，在这个意义上，它不会围绕着教学生一个特定的预先定义的技能或知识。相反，该计划首先向学生提出有趣的专题研究问题，并让他们决定他们有兴趣开发的数学/数值方法来解决这些问题。在广泛的技术技能的指导和支持将由更高级的教师和博士后研究员提供本研究计划的持续时间。 通过促进多学科合作，团队中的每个人都有机会向其他人学习。将组织小型研讨会，向任何感兴趣的人教授他们选择的项目可能需要的数学/数值/统计工具。 该计划将在国际环境中运行，在美国和世界其他地区之间交替进行，以促进国际合作，并将学生介绍给国际研究界。
