This Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place at the National University of La Plata (UNLP) on August 2014 in Argentina. Organized by Dr. Lou Kondic of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and Dr. Robert P. Behringer, of the Department of Physics of Duke University, the institute will focus on problems related to particulate media. The distinguishing feature of the PASI will be close interaction of world experts from different fields connected by the common underlying theme. The proposal implements an interdisciplinary approach to learning, necessary in the field of particulate media due to the skills from multiple disciplines that transverse the traditional boundaries, and includes techniques from engineering disciplines, computing, applied mathematics, theoretical and experimental physics, and biology.The PASI will integrate research and education by giving an opportunity to junior scientists not only to learn, but also to present their work to the international community, and interact directly with the leaders in the fields of research related to particulate media. In addition to this exposure the activity is further motivated by the need to develop better educational and research connections between scientists and engineers from the US and the countries of Central and South America. The proposed PASI will lead to establishment of professional and personal connections between researchers in various disciplines, and to new interactions via student exchanges, reciprocal visits, and development of jointly funded proposals. Results from the PASI, including videos and presentations, will be disseminated through a website where all the lectures will be available.

泛美高级研究院(PASI)奖由美国国家科学基金会和能源部(DOE)联合支持，将于2014年8月在阿根廷拉普拉塔国立大学(UNLP)举行。该研究所由新泽西理工学院(NJIT)数学科学系的卢·孔迪奇博士和杜克大学物理系的罗伯特·P·贝林格博士组织，将专注于与颗粒介质相关的问题。PASI的特点将是来自不同领域的世界专家通过共同的基本主题进行密切互动。该计划采用跨学科的学习方法，这在颗粒介质领域是必要的，因为来自多个学科的技能跨越了传统的界限，包括来自工程学科、计算、应用数学、理论和实验物理以及生物学的技术。PASI将把研究和教育结合起来，让初级科学家不仅有机会学习，而且向国际社会展示他们的工作，并与与颗粒介质相关的研究领域的领导人直接互动。除了这种接触之外，这项活动的进一步动机是需要在美国和中美洲和南美洲国家的科学家和工程师之间发展更好的教育和研究联系。拟议的PASI将导致在不同学科的研究人员之间建立专业和个人联系，并通过学生交流、互访和制定共同资助的提案来实现新的互动。PASI的结果，包括视频和演讲，将通过一个网站传播，所有讲座都将在该网站上提供。
