This award is in support of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates site located the Rice Quantum Institute at Rice University. The REU program conducted by the Rice Quantum Institute (RQI) brings students from outside universities to Rice University for a ten-week interdisciplinary summer research program. Each student works directly within the research group of a faculty mentor from science and engineering departments within RQI. Each project is designed to be part of a long-range research program by the faculty mentor, but individual to the student and manageable within ten weeks. The students are collectively exposed to different disciplines by contact with a variety of research groups in other labs, weekly seminars by Rice grad students and frequent scientific and social interactions (as well as joint housing) with the other REU students. In mid-session, the students present brief computer presentations to each other and the PI of the context, goals, hurdles and long-range expected yield of their projects. During the final week, written reports are turned in, exit interviews are performed, and, on the last day, students present their work at the RQI Colloquium. This annual event, which assembles a large audience made up of REU students, of research groups and others from Rice, as well as interested outsiders from neighboring schools and industries, showcases research going on within the Institute. This site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program, and by the Physics Division, the Division of Materials Research, and the Chemistry Division within the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

该奖项是为了支持位于莱斯大学莱斯量子研究所的本科生研究体验网站。 REU 项目由莱斯量子研究所 (RQI) 开展，将外部大学的学生带到莱斯大学参加为期十周的跨学科夏季研究项目。 每个学生都直接在 RQI 科学和工程系的教师导师的研究小组中工作。 每个项目都被设计为教师导师长期研究计划的一部分，但每个项目都是针对学生的，并且可以在十周内完成管理。 通过与其他实验室的各种研究小组的联系、莱斯大学研究生每周举行的研讨会以及与其他 REU 学生的频繁的科学和社会互动（以及联合住宿），学生们集体接触到不同的学科。 在课程中，学生们互相进行简短的计算机演示，并介绍其项目的背景、目标、障碍和长期预期收益。 在最后一周，学生将提交书面报告，进行离职面谈，并在最后一天在 RQI 研讨会上展示他们的作品。 这项一年一度的活动聚集了大批观众，其中包括 REU 学生、研究小组和莱斯大学的其他人员，以及来自邻近学校和行业的感兴趣的外部人士，展示了研究所内部正在进行的研究。 该网站由国防部与 NSF REU 计划以及数学和物理科学理事会的物理部、材料研究部和化学部共同资助。
