Theoretical Advanced Study Institute

这项拨款为科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的理论高级研究所（TASI）提供资金。TASI是一个为期一个月的暑期研究所，为在理论高能物理领域工作的高级研究生提供资助，每年6月举行。TASI的目的是让高级研究生接触到更广泛的思想和主题，而不是他们在本国机构从事论文主题时通常所经历的。TASI自1984年以来每年夏天举行，自1989年以来一直在博尔德校区举行。全国分布的科学顾问委员会选择一个主题并招募科学组织者，由他们安排当年的项目。在典型的一年里，大约60名年轻的参与者会听到大约20名尖端的知名研究人员的大约60次演讲。TASI是世界上同类项目中最成功的，TASI过去的学生都在主要的研究机构（包括高能物理内外）找到。因此，TASI通过促进科学进步和培养年轻科学家来促进国家利益。与TASI相关的更广泛的影响包括TASI视频、课堂讲稿和书面会议记录，所有这些都为高能物理社区的其他成员提供了同样广泛的好处。公开讲座也是TASI年度计划的一部分，吸引了大量来自社区的观众。科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的托马斯·德格兰德教授负责TASI的基础设施：他监督TASI的年度运营，维护网站，制作和分发海报，收集申请，协助录取过程，为初级和高级参与者组织住房，照顾演讲场地，记录演讲，并分配参与者支持费用。这项为期五年的赠款为TASI在2018-2022年（含2022年）期间的运营提供支持。在此期间，TASI当地业务的监管预计将越来越多地转移到联合pi的奥利弗·德·沃尔夫和伊森·尼尔身上，他们两人都是科罗拉多大学的教员。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

This grant provides funding for the Theoretical Advanced Study Institute (TASI) at the University of Colorado, Boulder CO.TASI is a one-month long Summer Institute for advanced graduate students working in the field of theoretical high-energy physics, held every June. The aim of TASI is to expose advanced graduate students to a much broader range of ideas and topics than they normally experience in their home institutions while working on their dissertation topics. TASI has been held every summer since 1984, and has been held on the Boulder campus since 1989. A nationally-distributed Scientific Advisory Board selects a topic and recruits scientific organizers, who arrange the program for that year. In a typical year about sixty junior participants hear approximately sixty presentations from approximately twenty cutting-edge established researchers. TASI is the most successful program of its kind in the world, and past students of TASI are found at major research institutions (both in and outside high-energy physics). As such, TASI advances the national interest by promoting the progress of science and the training of junior scientists. Further broader impacts associated with TASI include the TASI videos, lecture notes, and written proceedings, all of which provide the same benefits more broadly to other members of the high-energy physics community and beyond. A Public Lecture is also part of TASI's annual program, and attracts a large audience from the community. Professor Thomas DeGrand of the University of Colorado at Boulder is responsible for TASI's infrastructure: he oversees annual TASI operations, maintains the web site, makes and distributes the poster, collects applications, assists in the admission process, organizes housing for junior and senior participants, takes care of the lecture venue, records the presentations, and allocates participant support costs. This five-year grant provides support for TASI operations during the period 2018-2022, inclusive. During this period it is expected that oversight of TASI local operations will increasingly shift towards the co-PI's Oliver de Wolfe and Ethan Neil, each of whom is also a faculty member at the University of Colorado.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.
