This award supports a one year renewal of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at the Rice Quantum Institute at William Marsh Rice University. The award will support students for ten weeks of summer research in topics potentially including chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science, and bioengineering. Each student becomes involved in cutting-edge research by joining an individual research group and working with graduate students, postdocs and faculty supervisors. The students will form a cohesive group through joint housing, weekly interdisciplinary scientific seminars, and weekly social activities. These activities also include laboratory safety training and participation in an online course in ethical and responsible scientific conduct. In mid-session, the students will present brief computer presentations of their work to each other and the PI. In the seventh week, students will construct abstracts for their projects. During the last week students will turn in written reports, design and assemble poster presentations on their research, then present their posters alongside the other undergraduate participants in an extremely well-attended session of the Annual RQI Colloquium. There will also be a lunch meeting with faculty from various disciplines to discuss strategies for graduate school, the admissions process, and other professional/technical career options. This award is co-funded by the Division of Physics and the Division of Chemistry in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

该奖项支持威廉·马什·赖斯大学（William Marsh Rice University）稻米量子研究所的本科生（REU）网站的研究经验一年。 该奖项将为学生提供10周夏季研究的学生研究，包括化学，物理，电气工程，化学工程，材料科学和生物工程。 每个学生都通过加入单个研究小组并与研究生，博士后和教职员工合作，参与了尖端研究。 学生将通过联合住房，每周的跨学科科学研讨会和每周社交活动组成一个凝聚力的群体。这些活动还包括实验室安全培训和参加道德和负责任的科学行为的在线课程。在课程中，学生将简要介绍他们的作品和PI的计算机演示。在第七周，学生将为自己的项目构建摘要。在上周，学生将在其研究中上书面报告，设计和组装海报演示，然后在年度RQI犯罪学院的一个非常受人欢迎的会议上与其他本科参与者一起介绍他们的海报。 还将与来自各个学科的教职员工举行午餐会议，讨论研究生院，招生过程以及其他专业/技术职业选择的策略。 该奖项是由物理学和化学系与数学和物理科学局共同资助的。
