The Boulder School for Condensed Matter and Materials Physics provides education for advanced graduate students and postdoctoral fellows working in condensed matter physics, materials science and related fields. The goal is to enable students to work at the frontiers of science and technology by providing expert training not easily available within the traditional system of graduate education and postdoctoral apprenticeship. Boulder School strongly emphasizes pedagogy, breadth and depth of material covered. It contributes an educational experience to new generations of talented scientists interested in condensed matter and material science through four weeks of structured lectures, tutorials, discussions, poster sessions and student-run seminars. The Boulder School plays an important role in the condensed matter and materials physics community. It provides outreach to the public in the Boulder and greater Denver area, exposing its citizens to modern materials science. Through a diverse and evolving set of lectures, posted on the School’s website, and webcast on YouTube and video-recorded, it contributes to the community well beyond student participants attending the School. Student feedback indicates that in addition to providing a great deal of learning material, the School provides an invaluable scientific network that lasts well into students’ professional careers. Schools may also provide opportunities to expose local teachers and high school students to modern materials science.New Schools are planned for the coming 5 years, starting with “Self-Organizing Matter: From Inanimate to the Animate” (2024). Proposals for new Schools are solicited from the condensed matter and material science community at large with advice from the School’s Advisory Board. Innovations and improvements to the School’s operations will be implemented. The School meets annually during July in Boulder 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.

博尔德凝聚态与材料物理学院为凝聚态物理、材料科学及相关领域的高级研究生和博士后提供教育，目标是通过提供专家培训，使学生能够在科学技术的前沿工作。在传统的研究生教育和博士后学徒制度中很容易获得，博尔德学院强调教学法、所涵盖材料的广度和深度，它为对凝聚态物质感兴趣的新一代天才科学家提供了教育经验。博尔德学院通过为期四个星期的结构化讲座、教程、讨论、海报会议和学生举办的研讨会，在凝聚态和材料物理界发挥着重要作用，它为博尔德和大丹佛的公众提供了宣传服务。通过在学校网站上发布的一系列多样化且不断发展的讲座以及 YouTube 上的网络广播和视频录制，它对社区的贡献远远超出了参加学校的学生的反馈。那除了提供大量的学习材料外，学校还提供了一个宝贵的科学网络，可以持续到学生的职业生涯。学校还可以为当地教师和高中生提供接触现代材料科学的机会。新学校正在规划中。未来 5 年，从“自组织物质：从无生命到有生命”（2024 年）开始，我们将向整个凝聚态物质和材料科学界征求新学校的建议，并听取学校顾问的建议。学校运营的创新和改进将每年 7 月在科罗拉多州博尔德举行。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
