This Project Grant award of $223,040 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports the National Nuclear Physics Summer School. The summer school, held annually since 1988, aims to expose advanced graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to the latest developments and methods in nuclear physics. The program provides lectures and interactive discussions covering major subfields such as nuclear matter, electromagnetic physics, astrophysics, and nuclear structure. The grant enables the school organizers to identify expert lecturers, facilitate student networking and collaboration, and create an online archive of the lecture materials for long-term reference. The University of Washington is the primary awardee, and they have issued a $86,000 sub-award to Indiana University to assist with organizing and hosting the summer school. This community-building initiative helps strengthen students' nuclear physics background and provides them valuable opportunities to engage with leading researchers in the field.
