Workshop on Theoritical Science in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate; October 28-29, 2004; Arlington, VA

该奖项由数学和自然科学(MPS)多学科活动办公室支持，将提供资金用于举办讲习班，以解决整个MPS总干事对理论的支持问题。MPS理事会包括天文学、化学、材料研究、数学科学和物理学等部门。研讨会是应公安部咨询委员会(MPSAC)的要求举办的。研讨会将概述一些令人振奋的理论科学在公安部的追求，并确定公安部在21世纪支持理论的挑战和机遇。研讨会还将探讨为理论提供资金的各种方式，以及教育和劳动力问题。在与国会议员的协调下，研讨会由一个指导委员会(SC)组织，该委员会由MPSAC成员和额外的特别成员组成，以提供平衡。常设委员会将负责编写一份报告，总结研讨会的结论，包括建议。该报告将提交给MPSAC审议。该奖项由数学和自然科学(MPS)多学科活动办公室支持，将为一个讲习班提供资金，以解决整个MPS总干事对理论的支持问题。MPS理事会包括天文学、化学、材料研究、数学科学和物理学等部门。研讨会是应公安部咨询委员会(MPSAC)的要求举办的。研讨会将概述一些令人振奋的理论科学在公安部的追求，并确定公安部在21世纪支持理论的挑战和机遇。研讨会还将探讨为理论提供资金的各种方式，以及教育和劳动力问题。在与国会议员的协调下，研讨会由一个指导委员会(SC)组织，该委员会由MPSAC成员和额外的特别成员组成，以提供平衡。常设委员会将负责编写一份报告，总结研讨会的结论，包括建议。该报告将提交给MPSAC审议。***

This award, supported by the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) Office of Multidisciplinary Activities, will provide funds for a workshop to address support for theory throughout the MPS Directorate. The MPS Directorate includes the Divisions of Astronomical Sciences, Chemistry, Materials Research, Mathematical Sciences, and Physics. The workshop is being held at the request of the MPS Advisory Committee (MPSAC). The workshop will survey some of the exciting theoretical science being pursued in MPS and identify challenges and opportunities for the MPS support of theory in the 21st century. The workshop will also survey the various funding modalities for theory, as well as education and workforce issues. In coordination with MPS, the workshop is being organized by a Steering Committee (SC) comprised of members of the MPSAC plus additional ad hoc members to provide balance. The SC will be responsible for writing a report summarizing the findings of the workshop including recommendations. The report will be presented to the MPSAC for its consideration. %%%This award, supported by the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) Office of Multidisciplinary Activities, will provide funds for a workshop to address support for theory throughout the MPS Directorate.
