This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This award establishes a new Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site program in Physics at Case Western Reserve University (Case). Ten students from outside Case majoring in physics or a related field will be recruited for the ten week summer program each year for the next three years. The program encourages participation from students at institutions with limited research resources and also from groups that are traditionally under-represented in Science and Engineering. The program is designed to introduce undergraduate students to cutting-edge research environment and to help them develop professional skills needed to pursue advanced degrees in physics and related areas. The REU program includes a broad selection of interdisciplinary research projects in condensed matter physics and particle-astrophysics, for example in the areas of nanoscale physics, electronic materials including semiconductors, optics, biological and imaging physics, dark matter, cosmic rays and cosmic microwave background, covering experimental, theoretical and computational aspects. The research projects are designed specifically for undergraduates and mentored by a faculty member. In addition to being engaged in research, the REU students participate in weekly discussion meetings, professional skills development workshops, a workshop on ethical issues in science research, an end-of-the-summer poster symposium, and other professional and social networking activities for undergraduate summer researchers hosted by the institution. This REU Site program is funded by the Division of Materials Research in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate of National Science Foundation.

该奖项是根据2009年的《美国回收与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。该奖项为Case Western Reserve University（CASE）的物理学本科生（REU）建立了新的研究经验（REU）。在接下来的三年中，每年将为10周的夏季计划招募10名外部案例的学生或相关领域的学生。 该计划鼓励学生参加研究资源有限的机构的参与，以及传统上在科学和工程领域代表不足的团体的参与。该计划旨在向本科生介绍尖端的研究环境，并帮助他们发展攻读物理和相关领域的高级学位所需的专业技能。 REU计划包括广泛的跨学科研究项目，用于凝结物理学和粒子 - 胃物理学，例如在纳米级物理学的领域，包括半导体，光学，光学和生物成像物理学，暗物质，宇宙射线和宇宙的微层面背景，覆盖实验，理性和计算方面和计算方面。 研究项目是专为大学生设计的，并由教职员工指导。 除了从事研究之外，REU学生还参加每周的讨论会议，专业技能开发研讨会，有关科学研究的道德问题的研讨会，夏季结束的海报研讨会以及其他由该机构主办的本科生夏季研究人员的专业和社交网络活动。该REU站点计划由国家科学基金会数学和物理科学局的材料研究部资助。
