This award supports the renewal of a Physics and Astronomy REU site at the University of Pittsburgh. The REU site will involve a 10-week summer academic and research program, with student and project continuity between consecutive summers and follow-up during the school year. The focus of the program content is physics, including astrophysics, elementary particle and intermediate energy physics, condensed matter physics, materials science, surface science, molecular beams, education, and some applied (biomedical, mechanical) applications. In the past participating faculty research advisors have been drawn from physics, mathematics, engineering, computer science and chemistry. Academic work is informal and explicitly individualized to support the students' research efforts. In addition to research activities in the lab, there are periodic reports and conferences with the director, midterm and final presentations, and a final paper. Every effort is made to support the students in attacking, intellectually rigorously, a small piece of a real research project. There are also informal workshops, an ethics forum, and various informal social activities, which enhance the REU experience for the students.

该奖项支持匹兹堡大学物理和天文学 REU 站点的更新。 REU 站点将涉及为期 10 周的夏季学术和研究项目，学生和项目在连续的夏季和学年的后续活动之间保持连续性。课程内容的重点是物理学，包括天体物理学、基本粒子和中间能量物理学、凝聚态物理学、材料科学、表面科学、分子束、教育和一些应用（生物医学、机械）应用。 过去，参与研究的教师顾问来自物理、数学、工程、计算机科学和化学领域。 学术工作是非正式的，并且明确个性化，以支持学生的研究工作。 除了实验室的研究活动外，还有与主任的定期报告和会议、中期和期末报告以及期末论文。 我们尽一切努力支持学生在智力上严谨地攻克真正研究项目的一小部分。 还有非正式研讨会、道德论坛和各种非正式社交活动，这些活动增强了学生在 REU 的体验。
