JINA mission and goals JINA growth and development JINA science and accomplishments JINA management and community JINA education and outreach

Michael Wiescher

An NSF Physics Frontier Center PFC should generate:

Synergy & common forum for community Forefront research program Training & education for young scientists New ideas & projects in the field New collaboration & communication lines Service to the scientific community An efficient & innovative outreach program

The JINA mission JINA forms a community of experimentalists, theorists, and observers in nuclear astrophysics

Develops interdisciplinary research projects in close communication between participants

Advancing students & postdocs interaction and career through workshops, schools, and collaborations

Develops new research tools and techniques

Provides an international hub for new scientific information through traditional web content and social networking

Outreach for K-12 through school projects, summer camps and research participation

PFCs have no sunset rule, but require the full re-application process every 5 years!
