This award will provide support for the "1st COFI Workshop on the Intersection Between Dark Matter and Neutrinos.” It will be held January 24-26, 2020 in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, at the headquarters of the Colegio de Física Fundamental e Interdisciplinaria de las Américas (COFI) institute. The goal of this workshop is to discuss the challenges of research at the intersection between dark matter and non-accelerator based neutrino physics -- topics at the forefront of several fields.The workshop has a particular focus on early career scientists and graduate students, including local (based in Puerto Rico) scientists and graduate students, and it will provide participant travel support for a fraction of PhD students and junior postdocs travelling domestically or internationally to enable them to participate in the workshop. The speakers will consist of top scientists, postdoctoral researchers and PhD students in physics in North America, Latin America and Europe. Priority will be given to female and junior talented individuals. This conference will be attended by a significant number of scientists belonging to under-represented minority groups. The nature of the research covered by the workshop requires an interdisciplinary approach involving novel instrumentation and analysis and theoretical development, as well as inputs from particle physics, nuclear and atomic physics, astrophysics, cosmology, and computational science. The objective of the workshop is to bring these groups together -- not only to discuss current results and ongoing research, but also to develop a long-term collaboration scheme to further advance the interdisciplinary nature of this area and how to train the next generation to work across fields from the very beginning.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.

该奖项将为“第一届COFI暗物质与中微子交叉研讨会”提供支持。它将于2020年1月24日至26日在波多黎各的旧圣胡安举行，在美洲基础和跨学科学院（COFI）的总部。本次研讨会的目标是讨论暗物质和非加速器中微子物理学之间交叉点的研究挑战--这是几个领域的前沿话题。研讨会特别关注早期职业科学家和研究生，包括当地的（总部设在波多黎各）科学家和研究生，它将为一部分博士生和初级博士后提供国内或国际旅行的参与者旅行支持，使他们能够参加研讨会。演讲者将由北美，拉丁美洲和欧洲的顶级科学家，博士后研究人员和物理学博士生组成。优先考虑女性和初级人才。参加这次会议的将有许多属于代表性不足的少数群体的科学家。研讨会所涵盖的研究的性质需要一个跨学科的方法，涉及新的仪器和分析和理论发展，以及粒子物理学，核和原子物理学，天体物理学，宇宙学和计算科学的投入。讲习班的目的是将这些团体聚集在一起-不仅讨论目前的结果和正在进行的研究，也是为了发展一个长期的长期合作计划，以进一步推进这一领域的跨学科性质，以及如何从一开始就培养下一代跨领域工作。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的支持，知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
