NONTECHNICAL ABSTRACTThis award supports the Boulder School for Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. The annual summer school held on the University of Colorado campus in Boulder, Colorado provides education for advanced graduate students and postdoctoral fellows working in condensed matter physics, materials science and related fields. 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.Boulder 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 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 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 materials research. TECHNICAL ABSTRACTThis award supports the Boulder School for Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. The annual summer school held on the University of Colorado campus in Boulder, Colorado provides education for advanced graduate students and postdoctoral fellows working in condensed matter physics, materials science, and related fields. It contributes to the frontier education of new generations of talented scientists interested in condensed matter and materials science. This is annually accomplished through four weeks of structured lectures, tutorials, discussions, poster sessions and student-run seminars. Its innovative and pedagogical lectures provide graduate education unavailable in any single university department. 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. A School's impact lasts well past its duration, forging scientific relationships and collaborations that continue well into students' scientific careers.Boulder 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. Planned Boulder Schools supported under this award include "Frustrated and Disordered Systems" (2017), "Quantum Information Science" (2018), and "Cold Atomic and Molecular Gases" (2019). The School's Advisory Board and the condensed matter and materials science community will determine future timely and topical schools. The Boulder School 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 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 Boulder/Denver area community. These are extremely popular and consistently well attended. Schools also expose local teachers participating in a Research Experience for Teachers program and high school students to modern materials science.

该奖项支持博尔德凝聚态物质和材料物理学院。一年一度的暑期学校在科罗拉多州博尔德的科罗拉多大学校园举行，为凝聚态物理、材料科学和相关领域的高级研究生和博士后提供教育。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。博尔德学校通常在每年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。学院在凝聚态物质和材料物理领域发挥着重要作用。通过在学院网站上发布的多样化和不断发展的讲座，以及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。学校还让参加NSF教师研究体验项目的当地教师和高中生接触现代材料研究。技术摘要：该奖项支持博尔德凝聚态物质和材料物理学院。一年一度的暑期学校在科罗拉多州博尔德的科罗拉多大学校园举行，为凝聚态物理、材料科学和相关领域的高级研究生和博士后提供教育。它有助于对凝聚态物质和材料科学感兴趣的新一代有才华的科学家的前沿教育。每年通过为期四周的结构化讲座、辅导课、讨论、海报会议和学生举办的研讨会来完成。它的创新和教学讲座提供了任何单一大学院系都无法提供的研究生教育。学院的目标是通过为高级研究生和初级博士后研究人员提供专业培训，弥合研究生培训和研究之间的差距。学院的影响远远超过其存续时间，建立科学关系和合作，这些关系和合作将持续到学生的科学生涯。博尔德学校通常在每年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。该奖项支持的计划中的博尔德学校包括“受挫和无序系统”（2017年）、“量子信息科学”（2018年）和“冷原子和分子气体”（2019年）。学院的顾问委员会和凝聚态物质和材料科学社区将决定未来及时和热门的学院。博尔德学院在凝聚态物质和材料物理学界扮演着重要的角色。通过在学院网站上发布的多样化和不断发展的讲座，以及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。每个暑期学校还为博尔德/丹佛地区社区举办一到两次公开讲座。这些活动非常受欢迎，参加人数也一直很高。学校还让参加教师研究体验计划的当地教师和高中生接触现代材料科学。
