Are Lattice Gauge Theories still considered an area of active physics research? (i.e., are people still producing PhDs in this subject?) Or has this research area become passe?

I am applying to grad schools year and very interested in this field. I found this big list of people involved in lattice QCD stuff in the US: http://www.physics.ucsb.edu/~sugar/usqcd_members.pdf

This includes a bunch of graduate students as well as professors, but I know that a bunch of the professors are indeed active in the field.
