This award is for starting a new REU Site at the University of Florida with a focus on computationally intensive research in astronomy and astrophysics. The new program will take advantage of cutting-edge supercomputing available at the University of Florida as well as the newly established Informatics Institute. In addition to working in areas of astronomy, students will develop computer skills that will prepare them for a wide range of careers. The program will recruit students nationally, but will place particular focus on regional students with otherwise limited research opportunities.The research projects available to students include cosmological simulations of the growth of galaxies and their properties, simulations and analysis of cosmological microwave background observations using next generation ground-based experiments, and simulations of future space-based gravitational wave data and analysis. Students will be trained in the development and use of supercomputing codes and facilities with a focus on astrophysics. The skill set is transferable to a number of careers both in and outside of the STEM fields.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项是因为在佛罗里达大学开设了新的REU网站，重点是天文学和天体物理学的计算密集研究。新计划将利用佛罗里达大学以及新成立的信息学研究所提供的最先进的超级计算。除了在天文学领域工作外，学生还将开发计算机技能，为各种职业做好准备。该计划将在全国范围内招募学生，但将特别关注具有原本有限的研究机会的区域学生。学生可用的研究项目包括宇宙学模拟星系及其特性的增长，模拟和分析宇宙学微波背景观测，并使用下一代基于地面的实验以及对未来的空间基于空间的引力浪潮数据和分析的模拟。学生将接受超级计算代码和设施的开发和使用培训，重点是天体物理学。该技能可以转移到STEM领域内外的许多职业。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
