项目摘要

This REU program is centered on collaboration primarily between the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) and the City University of New York (CUNY). The funding requested will provide opportunities for undergraduates to conduct research in astronomy, astrophysics, and earth science at the AMNH. Additional research opportunities will be available at several of the CUNY campuses. Eight students per cohort will be supported through the grant, each program runs for ten weeks during the months of summer. Students from minority serving institutions and from schools with limited research activities are encouraged to participate. As part of the collaboration, special effort is made to recruit students from the CUNY system. In addition to their primary research activities the students will also participate in AMNH programs, take field trips, attend colloquia, and report of their summer projects at either a professional meeting or a scientific symposium that is open to the public.The very nature of an REU site results in a broader impact, in terms of educational activities. A stated goal of this program is to produce a diverse set of students who are well trained and well educated in the fundamentals of the scientific enterprise. By working to recruit and include participants from underrepresented groups in the CUNY system, the broader impacts of this REU program will likely be particularly effective in reaching into populations that have little exposure to research science and/or little actual research experience.

该REU计划主要集中在美国自然历史博物馆（AMNH）和纽约市大学（CUNY）之间。所要求的资金将为本科生在AMNH进行天文学，天体物理学和地球科学的研究提供机会。几个CUNY校园将提供其他研究机会。每名队列的八名学生将得到赠款的支持，每个计划在夏季的几个月中运行十个星期。鼓励来自少数派服务机构的学生和研究活动有限的学校参加。作为合作的一部分，为从CUNY系统招募学生而做出了特别的努力。除了主要研究活动外，学生还将参加AMNH计划，进行实地考察，参加校长以及在专业会议或向公众开放的科学研讨会上报告其夏季项目的报告。在教育活动方面，REU网站会产生更广泛的影响。该计划的一个既定目标是生产一组在科学企业的基础知识中受过良好培训且受过良好教育的学生。通过招募招募并包括来自CUNY系统中代表性不足的团体的参与者，该REU计划的更广泛影响可能会特别有效地进入几乎没有研究科学和/或实际研究经验的人群。
