This award supports an REU program at Texas Christian University (TCU), which would involve 6-7 undergraduate students in 10 weeks of workshops and research in Physics or Astrophysics. The main goal of the program is to provide a memorable and potentially career-defining experience for student participants A carefully mentored research program, thoughtfully-selected field trips, weekly discussions with other students and faculty, and workshops on ethics in science, effective presentation and planning for graduate school, culminating in a final oral research presentation, provide opportunities for students to consider a broad range of career possibilities in physics and engineering fields. The expectation is that participants will give post-summer presentations of research at a professional science conference. TCU has a reputation for providing a nurturing learning environment with a low student-to-faculty ratio. This award is supported by the Physics Division and the Division of Social and Economic Sciences.

该奖项支持德克萨斯基督教大学（TCU）的REU计划，该计划将在10周的物理学或天体物理学研究中涉及6-7名本科生。该计划的主要目的是为学生参与者提供令人难忘的职业定义经验，一项精心指导的研究计划，经过精心挑选的实地考察，与其他学生和教职员工进行每周讨论，以及有关科学伦理，有效介绍和计划研究生院的道德讲习班，为研究生院的阶级，在最终的口头研究表现中，在最终的口头研究表现中，为广泛的范围提供了一项职业范围，以实现范围的职业范围。期望参与者将在专业科学会议上对研究后进行研究。 TCU因提供较低的学生与教师比率提供培养的学习环境而闻名。该奖项得到了物理部和社会和经济科学部的支持。
