The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory will continue its long-running summer REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) program. In addition to a 10-week summer research internship working with scientists at the Harvard/Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), students will engage in numerous professional development activities, including computer tutorials, research-training seminars, and directed meetings with astrophysicists at all career stages. Students will also attend group discussions on the ethical conduct of research, graduate school life, admissions, available fellowships, and career opportunities after graduation. Since 1994, over half of the interns have been female, and a small but increasing number from underrepresented groups. During this renewed program greater emphasis will be placed on recruiting students from underrepresented groups as well as from colleges with limited resources for astrophysical research. This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.Each summer, eleven students will spend ten weeks conducting leading-edge research with their mentors at CfA. Scientists at the CfA are involved in virtually every area of astrophysics and have access to a large number of modern scientific instruments, so students have a broad range of projects to choose from. The student research experience will be completed by a trip to the winter AAS meeting, where each intern will present a poster.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.

史密森尼天体物理天文台将继续其长期运行的夏季REU（本科生的研究经验）计划。除了在哈佛/史密森尼天体物理学中心（CFA）的科学家进行的为期10周的夏季研究实习外，学生还将从事众多专业发展活动，包括计算机教程，研究培训研讨会以及与所有职业阶段与天体物理学家的指示会议。学生还将参加有关研究，研究生生活，招生，可用奖学​​金和职业机会的道德行为的小组讨论。自1994年以来，超过一半的实习生是女性，而代表性不足的群体的数量很少但越来越多。在这个新的计划中，将更加重视来自代表性不足的群体以及来自天体物理研究资源有限的大学的学生。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。每个夏季，11名学生将花十个星期的时间与CFA的导师进行领先的研究。 CFA的科学家几乎参与了天体物理学的每个领域，并且可以使用大量的现代科学仪器，因此学生有广泛的项目可供选择。学生研究经验将通过参加冬季AAS会议的旅行来完成，每个实习生都会介绍海报。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优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来获得支持的。
