We enable scientists to investigate and propose new theories about the fundamental forces and particles that govern all matter, energy, and structure in the universe.
Beginning in 2017, the Foundation aims to fund projects over the next five years that will create a more inclusive, robust, and innovative physics and astronomy community in U.S. universities and research bodies.
