This award supports the renewal of the Research Experience for Teachers site at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The award will support seven teachers per summer and two teachers for year long research activities. High- and middle-school science teachers, pre-service teachers, and, exceptionally, elementary-school teachers, will be exposed to cutting edge research in the departments of Chemistry, Geosciences, and Physics, and the UWM Planetarium under the guidance of faculty mentors and teacher mentors (the latter will be experienced interns from the previous program). Specific areas of study, development, and research participation for RET interns may include: radio astronomy and pulsar detection (ARCC@UWM), gravitational wave detection (LIGO), high temperature superconductivity, measurement of molecular electric fields in biological systems and the development of novel optical fiber sensors for remote environmental monitoring, nanoscience and nanotechnology using scanning tunneling microscopy, imaging and manipulation of nanoscale objects such as single fluorescent molecules, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, investigation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in dairy manure and private drinking water wells in Northeast Wisconsin, Macromolecular Crystallography, kinetic and thermodynamic investigation of enzyme reactions, imaging of protein activity and interactions in living cells using laser-scanning fluorescence microscopy with spectral and temporal resolution, analysis of data of air showers produced by ultra-high energy cosmic rays from the Pierre Auger Observatory, and petrology of recent lava flows from northern British Columbia and Iceland. The interns in this program will not only strengthen their knowledge base by engaging in suitable research activities under the guidance of a faculty mentor, but, with the guidance of the teacher mentors, they will also develop an inquiry-based teaching project that will be: implemented in the classroom; presented to a state-wide audience at the annual Wisconsin Society of Science Teachers conference in the spring following the core summer program; and developed as a web-based resource for a national audience on the UWM RET website. This award is funded by the Division of Physics and the Division of Chemistry.

该奖项支持威斯康星大学 - 米尔沃基大学教师网站研究经验的更新。 该奖项将为每个夏天的七名教师和两名教师提供长期的研究活动。高中和中学的科学教师，职前教师以及异常的小学教师将在化学，地球科学和物理学系以及UWM天文馆的指导下，接触化学，地球科学和物理学部门的尖端研究导师和教师导师（后者将是上一个计划的实习生）。 RET实习生的特定研究，开发和研究参与可能包括：射电天文学和脉冲星检测（ARCC@UWM），引力波检测（LIGO），高温超导性，生物系统中分子电场的测量以及生物系统的发展以及新型的光纤传感器，用于远程环境监测，纳米科学和纳米技术，使用扫描隧道显微镜，对纳米级对象的成像和操纵，例如单个荧光分子，X射线光电镜检查，研究抗生素抗药性细菌和私人饮用水水井中的抗生素抗药性细菌的研究威斯康星州东北部，大分子晶体学，酶反应的动力学和热力学研究，使用光谱和时间分辨率的激光扫描荧光显微镜对活细胞的蛋白质活性和相互作用进行成像，分析由超高能量宇宙射线产生的数据的分析皮埃尔·奥格尔（Pierre Auger）天文台以及来自不列颠哥伦比亚省北部和冰岛的熔岩流的岩石学。该计划中的实习生不仅将通过在教师导师的指导下从事合适的研究活动来增强其知识基础，而且在教师导师的指导下，他们还将开发一个基于询问的教学项目，该项目将是：在课堂上实施；在春季的春季夏季计划之后，在威斯康星州科学教师会议的一年一度的年度科学教师会议上向全州范围的听众展示；并在UWM RET网站上作为基于网络的资源开发了一个基于网络的资源。 该奖项由物理学和化学部门资助。
