This award supports the participation of U.S. researchers and graduate students in an Advanced Studies Institute (ASI) in particle physics and cosmology to be held in Hue, Vietnam in July 2011. It will be hosted by the University of Hue and is supported by BCVSPIN (Bangladesh, China, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India, Nepal) a group that supports this area of science. The U.S. organizer is Professor Qaisar Shafi at the University of Delaware in Newark. Other sponsors are the University of Virginia in Blacksburg; Hue University College of Education in Vietnam; the Institute of Physics in Hanoi, Vietnam and the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy. In addition to participation from the countries mentioned above, it will also include scientists and graduate students from Indonesia, Malaysia, Laos and Thailand. The scientific motivation for this Institute is based on the premise that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) now operating at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland will be able to unlock some of the deepest secrets of the universe. There are many experimentalists and theoretical physicists racing to discover new laws of physics. Such discoveries could greatly alter the face of physics. The main research areas to be discussed include: 1) the origin of mass; 2) the origin of matter in the universe; 3) the nature of dark matter particles; and 4) supersymmetric nature. In addition, they will discuss if there may be complimentary ground-breaking satellite and terrestrial experiments that are helping lay the foundations of modern (post big-bang) cosmology. Each of the above topics will be discussed in depth by leading experts from the U.S. and Europe. The principle lectures will be held during the morning and afternoon, and the evenings will be reserved for discussion and support sessions. It is anticipated that this Institute will facilitate the creation of global scientific networks among physicists from the U.S. and Asian institutions. It also provides an exceptional opportunity for interaction between U.S. scientists and students with their counterparts. U.S. researchers could select Asian graduate students and postdocs to work at their home institutions and invite faculty members for short research stays in order to engage in new collaborative projects. It will also provide the young Asian scientists and students, who often lack access to conferences, journals and scientific exchange, the opportunity to interact with world class experimentalists and theorists in particle physics and cosmology thereby allowing them to keep abreast of the most recent developments and perhaps even provide them a venue for presenting their ideas and work as well.

该奖项支持美国研究人员和研究生参加将于2011年7月在越南顺化举行的粒子物理学和宇宙学高级研究所（ASI）。它将由顺化大学主办，并得到BCVSPIN（孟加拉国、中国、越南、斯里兰卡、巴基斯坦、印度、尼泊尔）的支持，BCVSPIN是一个支持这一科学领域的组织。美国的组织者是纽瓦克特拉华大学的凯萨尔·沙菲教授。其他赞助商包括布莱克斯堡的弗吉尼亚大学；越南顺化大学教育学院；越南河内的物理研究所和意大利的里雅斯特的Abdus Salam国际理论物理中心。除了上述国家的参与外，还将包括来自印度尼西亚、马来西亚、老挝和泰国的科学家和研究生。这个研究所的科学动机是基于这样一个前提，即现在在瑞士日内瓦的欧洲核子研究中心运行的大型强子对撞机（LHC）将能够解开宇宙中一些最深的秘密。有许多实验物理学家和理论物理学家竞相发现新的物理定律。这些发现可能会极大地改变物理学的面貌。主要讨论的研究领域包括：1)质量的起源；2)宇宙中物质的起源；3)暗物质粒子的性质；4)超对称性质。此外，他们还将讨论是否有可能赠送开创性的卫星和地面实验，帮助奠定现代（后大爆炸）宇宙学的基础。以上每个主题都将由来自美国和欧洲的顶尖专家进行深入讨论。主要讲座将在上午和下午举行，晚上将保留讨论和支持会议。预计该研究所将促进在美国和亚洲机构的物理学家之间建立全球科学网络。它还为美国科学家和学生与其同行之间的互动提供了一个难得的机会。美国的研究人员可以选择亚洲的研究生和博士后到他们本国的研究机构工作，并邀请教职员工进行短期研究，以便参与新的合作项目。亚洲的年轻科学家和学生往往缺乏参加会议、期刊和科学交流的机会，因此它将为他们提供与世界一流的粒子物理学和宇宙学实验家和理论家互动的机会，从而使他们能够跟上最新的发展，甚至可能为他们提供一个展示他们的想法和工作的场所。
