 JINA forms a community of experimentalists, theorists, and observers in nuclear astrophysics
An NSF Physics Frontier Center PFC
 Develops interdisciplinary research should generate: projects in close communication between participants
 Synergy & common forum for community
 Forefront research program
 Advancing students & postdocs interaction and career through workshops, schools, and collaborations
 Training & education for young scientists
 New ideas & projects in the field
 Develops new research tools and techniques
 New collaboration & communication lines
 Service to the scientific community
 An efficient & innovative outreach program
 Provides an international hub for new scientific information through traditional web content and social networking
PFCs have no sunset rule, but require the full re-application process every 5 years!
 Outreach for K-12 through school projects, summer camps and research participation
