The Academic Council determined the winners in the 2009 competitions for young physicists specializing in the area of theoretical physics 4 February 2010.
Fifty students, forty graduate students and scientists with only an undergraduate degree, twelve candidates of science, and six doctors of science will receive Dynasty grants.

Altogether, 427 applications—132 from students, 183 from graduate students and young scientists with only an undergraduate degree, 82 from candidates of science, and 30 from doctors of science—were submitted for Dynasty support programs for young physicistsin 2009 (36 applications more than in 2008).

Students and young scientists from large scientific centers and universities all over Russia—Moscow and Saint Petersburg, Dubna and Chernogolovka, Tomsk and Novosibirsk, Irkutsk and Nizhny Novgorod, Krasnoyarsk and Ekaterinburg, and others—participated in the competition.

The monthly Dynasty Foundation stipends will be 4,000 rubles for a student, 8,000 rubles for a graduate student and a young scientist with only an undergraduate degree, 15,000 rubles for a candidate of science, and 20,000 rubles for a doctor of science.

Dynasty Foundation support helps Russian physicists do continuous scientific work starting from college. For example, one third of the winners in the competition for graduate students and young scientists with only an undergraduate degree previously received Dynasty Foundation grants as students.
