This award funds the LHC Theory Initiative, a competitive national fellowship program supporting the training of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in theoretical particle physics.After nearly twenty years of planning and construction, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is now the highest-energy particle collider in the world. Data from the LHC is likely to lead to nothing less than a new "Standard Model" of particle physics, describing the building blocks of matter and their interactions at an even higher energy scale. This award will fund competitive graduate student and postdoctoral fellowships aimed at young theorists intent on interpreting the LHC data. Theoretical analysis provides an essential complement to the LHC experimental program, and this award will help ensure that the United States has the young theorists it needs to gain full benefit from the investment it had made in the LHC experimental facility.This project is also envisioned to have significant broader impacts. In particular, it will train leaders of the next generation in this fundamental field of physics.

该奖项资助了LHC理论计划，这是一个竞争性的国家奖学金计划，支持理论粒子物理学研究生和博士后研究员的培训。经过近二十年的规划和建设，大型强子对撞机（LHC）现在是世界上能量最高的粒子对撞机。 来自大型强子对撞机的数据很可能会导致一个新的粒子物理学“标准模型”，描述物质的构建模块及其在更高能量尺度上的相互作用。 该奖项将资助有竞争力的研究生和博士后奖学金，旨在解释LHC数据的年轻理论家。 理论分析是对LHC实验计划的重要补充，该奖项将有助于确保美国拥有所需的年轻理论家，以充分利用其在LHC实验设施上的投资。该项目也被认为具有重大的广泛影响。 特别是，它将培养下一代在物理学这一基础领域的领导者。
