陶哲轩「活」过来了,数学圣殿IPAM惊险续命5年,但钱少得可怜

数学大神「科研粮」终于到手了!陶哲轩自曝IPAM拿下了未来五年的科研经费,续命成功,但经费大幅缩水,离正常运转还需一笔资金。 菲尔兹奖得主,终于拿到经费了! 3日,陶哲轩激动称,IPAM从2025年起,获得了「美国国家科学基金会」(NSF)五年的资助。 这意味着,顶级数学圣殿IPAM正式「续命」成功,起码不用关门大吉了。 所幸的是,IPAM终于可以活了下来,数学大神也能继续搞科研了…… IPAM终获5年「续命钱」 对于圈内的人来说,IPAM就是最具权威、最具影响力的「科研殿堂」。 此前几个月里,资金一度中断,IPAM一直靠捐款、紧急资金「硬撑」了下来。 在帖子中,陶哲轩话锋一转: 正如此前所料,这笔资助相较于上一轮「五年周期」大幅缩水! 现在,还需要进一步筹款,才能正常运转。 不过,现在好歹有了「最低的生存保障」,可以维持基本研究的运作。 自美政府挥出制裁大棒后,陶哲轩曾多次发文呼吁,甚至把捐款链接挂在帖子最显眼的位置。 由此可见,事态之严重。 成立于2000年,无数大牛在这里,碰撞出拿下菲尔兹奖、阿贝尔奖的研究灵感。 作为NSF资助的六大科研所之一,IPAM以独特的跨学科项目融合创新,曾催生了「压缩感知」突 ...
陶哲轩,弹尽粮绝?

Core Points - The federal government has cut off research funding to UCLA, impacting numerous scholars including Fields Medalist Terence Tao, who expressed that his research team is now "starving" and unable to continue their work [1][4][11] - The decision to freeze funding was based on allegations of racial bias in UCLA's research environment, leading to the suspension of nearly 500 NIH grants and two Department of Energy grants, totaling over $500 million in funding for 2024 [3][13][16] Group 1 - The unprecedented action not only halts personal research funding for scholars like Tao but also poses a critical threat to the existence of the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) at UCLA [4][18] - Tao's personal funding has been paused, significantly affecting his ability to support his research team, and he has had to delay his summer salary to use previous NSF grants to support graduate students [5][6][7] - IPAM's funding situation is dire, with its emergency funds expected to last only a few months, despite having received preliminary approval for a new five-year funding round earlier this year [9][20] Group 2 - UCLA's president, Julio Frenk, has publicly responded to the funding cuts, emphasizing the detrimental impact on researchers and the broader implications for public health and future advancements reliant on cutting-edge research [17][14] - The loss of IPAM would have an immeasurable impact on the next generation of mathematical scientists, particularly those from non-top-tier institutions, as it provides crucial opportunities for early-career scholars to engage with emerging interdisciplinary fields [35][32] - Tao highlighted that the most valuable contribution of institutions like IPAM is not just to established researchers but to young scholars who benefit from exposure to new interdisciplinary opportunities [31][34]
