Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics

Kavli理论物理研究所（KITP）位于加州大学（UCSB）的圣巴巴拉校区，通过独特的操作和结构模式为理论物理的不同目标服务。访问研究人员计划，相关会议和各种推广活动为理论物理学家在其研究生涯的各个阶段提供了资源。 其主要目标是促进科学进步，将有成就的研究人员聚集在一起，有足够的时间形成新的合作，并开展将导致新方向的实质性研究。 在规划和实施其研究计划从社区的重要投入，KITP响应新的科学机会，鼓励转型研究，并通过确保广泛的代表性促进多样性。这些方案吸引了来自世界各地机构的选定参与者群体，旨在加强参与者之间的互动与合作，以激发充满活力的创造性思维，从而带来洞察力和重大科学进步。 该奖项由数学和物理科学理事会的物理部、材料研究部和天文科学部共同资助。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP), at the Santa Barbara campus of the University of California (UCSB), serves the diverse goals of theoretical physics via a unique mode of operation and structure. The visiting researcher programs, associated conferences, and various outreach activities form a resource for theoretical physicists at all stages in their research careers. The primary goal is to promote scientific progress by bringing together accomplished researchers for sufficient time to form new collaborations and to carry out substantive research that will lead in new directions. With essential input in the planning and implementation of its research programs from the community, the KITP responds to new scientific opportunities, encourages transformational research, and promotes diversity by ensuring broad representation. The programs, which attract select groups of participants from institutions worldwide, are designed to enhance interaction and collaboration among participants in order to stimulate the vibrant, creative thinking that leads to insight and significant scientific progress. This award is cofunded by the Division of Physics, the Division of Materials Research, and the Division of Astronomical Sciences within the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
