This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This award provides funding for a new Research Experiences for Undergraduate site focused on human-centered computing at Clemson University. The objective of the REU site is to provide talented undergraduate students genuine research experiences through immersion into the activities of and culture of a research lab. The project recruits students locally and nationally from undergraduate institutions with emphasis on minority and women students. Each year 10 students participate in on-going research being conducted in the Cybersociety Lab and the Virtual Reality and Eye Tracking Lab. The students receive 8 weeks of intensive training in the research areas, support from peer and faculty mentors, and professional development opportunities. The intellectual merit of this project lies in the potential contributions to the field human-centered computing of the research. The project has an excellent faculty leadership team that has an outstanding track record in advances in the timely and important areas studied within their labs. The topics are current and of interest to both students and the research community at large and well suited to undergraduate exploration.The broader impacts of the project include providing a quality research experience to undergraduate students, particularly women and students from underrepresented groups. The participating faculty members are committed to including under-represented minority students in their research. Thus this project has the potential to produce new computer science graduate students and faculty members and to advance discovery and understanding while promoting learning.

该奖项根据 2009 年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法 111-5）提供资金。该奖项为克莱姆森大学专注于以人为中心的计算的本科生新研究体验网站提供资金。 REU 网站的目标是通过沉浸在研究实验室的活动和文化中，为有才华的本科生提供真正的研究体验。 该项目从本地和全国本科院校招收学生，重点是少数民族和女学生。每年有 10 名学生参与网络社会实验室以及虚拟现实和眼动追踪实验室正在进行的研究。学生将接受为期 8 周的研究领域强化培训、同行和教师导师的支持以及专业发展机会。 该项目的智力价值在于对以人为中心的计算领域的研究的潜在贡献。该项目拥有一支优秀的教师领导团队，他们在实验室研究的及时和重要领域方面拥有出色的进展记录。这些主题是当前的，学生和整个研究界都感兴趣，非常适合本科生探索。该项目的更广泛影响包括为本科生，特别是女性和来自弱势群体的学生提供优质的研究经验。参与的教师致力于将代表性不足的少数族裔学生纳入他们的研究中。 因此，该项目有潜力培养新的计算机科学研究生和教员，并在促进学习的同时促进发现和理解。
