This award supports the Boulder School for Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. This is an annual summer school held in Boulder, Colorado, at the University of Colorado. The goal of the School is to bridge the gap between graduate training and research by providing advanced graduate students and beginning postdoctoral researchers access to specialized training not readily available through graduate programs at any one institution. The School is also intended to foster a sense of community among junior researchers. Through online resources that are broadly available, the School is an educational resource for the community.Schools typically run for four weeks in July each year and utilize facilities provided by the University of Colorado. Each school has about sixty students and twenty lecturers. Lectures expose the students to a wide range of subjects in forefront condensed matter and materials physics; topics that are often not available at students' home institutions. Members of underrepresented groups are always in attendance, as well as a number of international students. The School has become an institution that plays an important role in the condensed matter and materials physics community. Through a diverse and evolving set of lectures, posted on the School's website, and proposed to be webcast and video-recorded, it contributes to the community well beyond student participants attending the School. Each summer school also presents one or two public lectures for the Denver area community. Schools also expose local teachers participating in NSF's Research Experience for Teachers program and high school students to modern material science.

该奖项支持博尔德凝聚态物质和材料物理学院。这是在科罗拉多州博尔德市科罗拉多大学举办的一年一度的暑期学校。学院的目标是通过为高级研究生和刚开始的博士后研究人员提供在任何一个机构的研究生课程中都无法获得的专业培训，来弥合研究生培训和研究之间的差距。该学院还旨在培养初级研究人员的社区意识。透过广泛提供的网上资源，学院成为社会的教育资源。学校通常在每年7月开学四周，使用科罗拉多大学提供的设施。每所学校大约有60名学生和20名教师。讲座使学生接触到广泛的前沿凝聚态物质和材料物理学科；在学生的家庭机构中通常没有的主题。代表人数不足的群体的成员以及一些国际学生总是出席。该学院已成为在凝聚态物质和材料物理领域发挥重要作用的机构。通过在学院网站上发布的多样化和不断发展的讲座，并建议进行网络广播和视频录制，它为社区做出了贡献，远远超出了参加学院的学生。每个暑期学校还为丹佛地区社区举办一到两次公开讲座。学校还向参加NSF教师研究体验项目的当地教师和高中生展示现代材料科学。
