This award supports a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates site at the Catholic University of America (CUA). The site will provide internship opportunities for eight undergraduate students to carry out independent physics research in the Nation's Capital. The goal is to reach out to and engage students in research who would otherwise not have the opportunity for research experiences, as well as to educate students about the path to becoming a researcher including graduate school and careers in academia and beyond.The CUA REU research projects include several nuclear and particle physics experiments, data analyses, and detector construction projects that are carried out on campus and benefit from CUA's strong expertise in materials. The interface between basic research in nuclear and particle physics and applied science is a particularly rich and exciting area for attracting undergraduate students into the field. CUA has a unique position because of its proximity to and collaborations with flagship national laboratories. The REU program will build on CUA's demonstrated experience of the mutually beneficial involvement of undergraduate students in cutting edge research projects, including some that have led to the successful construction of detectors.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.

该奖项支持美国天主教大学（CUA）的大学生网站的新研究经验。 该网站将为八名本科生在美国首都进行独立物理学研究提供实习机会。 目的是与学生接触并吸引学生参与研究经验的机会，并教育学生成为成为一名研究人员的道路，包括研究生院和学术界及其他地区的职业。CUA REU研究项目包括几项核和粒子物理实验，数据分析，数据分析以及在Campus and Campus and Cupus和Cua的材料中都带来了材料的材料。核物理学基础研究与应用科学之间的界面是吸引本科生进入该领域的特别丰富而令人兴奋的领域。 CUA由于其靠近并与旗舰国家实验室的合作而具有独特的位置。 REU计划将基于CUA在本科生参与尖端研究项目的互惠互利参与的经验，其中包括一些导致检测成功构建的一些经验。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来支持的，这是值得的。
