This award provides funding for a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the National Solar Observatory (NSO). Eight students per year will be paired with scientists at NSO's two locations at Kitt Peak, near Tucson, AZ; and Sacramento Peak, near Sunspot, NM. The students will conduct extensive research into cutting-edge topics in solar physics, including helioseismology, solar-stellar connections, the dynamics of solar activity, space weather, and studies of the solar corona. They will also take advantage of the full suite of NSO's telescopes in both locations. Critically, the research experiences on offer to the students will prepare a new generation of scientists to use the upcoming Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST), which is currently under construction in Maui, HI.The NSO REU Site is deeply committed to ensuring that its cohort has broad representation from students at Tier 1 universities, as well from undergraduates at schools with limited research opportunities in STEM. Students will also be offered the opportunity to present their work at major national and international meetings, including the American Astronomical Society and the American Geophysical Union conferences.

该奖项为国家太阳能天文台（NSO）的本科生（REU）网站的研究经验提供了资金。每年将在亚利桑那州图森附近的Kitt Peak的NSO两个地点与科学家配对；和萨克拉曼多峰（Sacramento Peak），靠近新墨西哥州黑子。学生将对太阳能物理学的尖端主题进行广泛的研究，包括热疗学，太阳能连接，太阳能活动的动态，太空天气以及太阳能电晕的研究。他们还将利用两个位置的NSO望远镜的完整套件。至关重要的是，为学生提供的研究经验将准备新一代的科学家使用即将到来的Daniel K. Inouye太阳能望远镜（DKIST），该望远镜（DKIST）目前正在毛伊岛建设，NSO REU站点深深地致力于确保其同伙在Tier 1 Universitiity的学生中的大量研究，并从学业中有限公司。还将有机会在包括美国天文学会和美国地球物理联盟会议在内的主要国家和国际会议上介绍他们的作品。
