The Astro2020 Decadal Survey, Pathways to Discovery in Astronomy and Astrophysics for the 2020s, calls for continued cultivation of a strong theoretical astrophysics program. The Theoretical and Computational Astrophysics Networks (TCAN) program was established in response to the New Worlds, New Horizons report of the Astro2010 Decadal Survey, with the following goals:
• To support coordinated efforts in fundamental theory and computational techniques in order to make groundbreaking advances in astrophysics;
• To strengthen theoretical and computational astrophysics in the U.S. by uniting researchers in collaborative networks that cross institutional and geographical divides; and,
• To advance the training of the future workforce of theoretical and computational scientists.
