Miami 2009 Topical Conferences on Elementary Particles; Coral Gables, Florida

该奖项为2009年迈阿密基本粒子、天体物理学和宇宙学专题物理学会议提供支持。这是一次成功的年度会议，基本上取代了之前成功举办了几十年的珊瑚山墙会议。由于基本粒子物理学、天体物理学和宇宙学之间的交叉日益成为现代理论物理学研究的前沿，这个主题是高度热门的。通过该奖项提供的资金专门用于支持年轻参与者（研究生和博士后）（旅行和当地费用），参加这样的会议可以对他们作为科学家的发展产生深远的影响。

This award provides support for the 2009 Miami Topical Physics Conference on Elementary Particles, Astrophysics, and Cosmology. This is a successful annual conference which is essentially the replacement for the previous Coral Gables Conference, which had run successfully for many decades. The subject matter is highly topical, as the intersection between elementary particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology is increasingly at the forefront of modern theoretical physics research. The funds provided through the award are exclusively for the support (travel and local expenses) of young participants (graduate students and postdocs) for whom attendance at such a conference can have a profound effect on their development as scientists.
