This award supports the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) and Teachers (RET) Site in Astronomy and Atmospheric Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Haystack Observatory. The program will provide opportunities for undergraduate students and teachers from around the country to actively engage in front-line research in many areas of astronomy, geodesy, and atmospheric science. Program participants will work with individual faculty members and/or observatory staff on focused research projects that last 10 weeks during the summer. The program emphasizes an end-to-end exposure to the research process for the participants. Many of the students will become co-authors on articles published in scientific journals. The very nature of an REU/RET site results in a broader impact, in terms of educational activities. To help broaden the diversity of this program, student and teachers from within Puerto Rico will also be able to participate in this program through a collaboration with Universities within the Ana G. Mendez University System.

该奖项支持马萨诸塞州科技研究所和海斯塔克天文台的天文学和大气科学的本科生（REU）和教师（RET）网站的研究经验。该计划将为来自全国各地的本科生和老师提供机会，以积极参与天文学，地理学和大气科学领域的许多领域。计划参与者将与夏季持续10周的专注研究项目与个别教职员工和/或观察员工作人员合作。该计划强调了参与者对研究过程的端到端暴露。许多学生将成为科学期刊上发表的文章的合着者。 REU/RET网站的本质在教育活动方面会产生更大的影响。为了帮助扩大该计划的多样性，来自波多黎各境内的学生和教师还可以通过与ANA G. Mendez大学系统中的大学合作参加该计划。
