NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the School of Physics at Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) engages undergraduate students in an immersive summer research experience that provides participants with hands-on physics research and encouragement to embark on graduate studies. This multi-institutional partnership between Georgia Tech and the institutions in the Atlanta University Center (Morehouse College, Clark Atlanta University, Spelman College) fosters the nation's interests in creating a highly-trained, diverse workforce in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The primary objectives of this Site are to: (1) provide high quality research experiences, in combination with a series of professional development activities, for cohorts of visiting undergraduate researchers, (2) motivate and prepare talented undergraduates to pursue, and succeed in, graduate studies, (3) assemble a cadre of participants that reflects the diversity of the U.S. population, (4) attract students from institutions that have limited research activities, (5) continue engagement of the participants beyond the summer program when they return to their home institutions, and (6) nurture collaborations in research and instruction between the four institutions in the consortium. Other components of the site include team-building activities, regular group meetings, a research seminar series, a workshop series (e.g., focused on ethics, presentation skills, and graduate opportunities), undergraduate research symposia, and field trips to industrial and government laboratories.TECHNICAL DETAILS: Undergraduate participants in the Georgia Tech - Atlanta University Center Research Experiences for Undergraduate (REU) site are paired with a faculty mentor and research group aligned with her/his physics interests. Summer research projects are selected from an array of possibilities ranging from atomic physics to condensed matter physics; from physics of living systems to astrophysics and computational physics. The Site aims to enhance interactions between Georgia Tech and the institutions in the Atlanta University Center and thereby increases the capacity for research at those predominantly undergraduate, minority-serving institutions. The Site is carefully structured to interweave high-quality research experiences, mentoring, and community building between the REU participants in order to provide students with a rich, supportive growth experience. Students who complete this summer experience are well-equipped with invaluable skillsets (hard and soft), an enhanced perspective, and a permanent set of mentors to aid in pursuit of their STEM careers.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.

非技术描述：佐治亚理工学院（Georgia Tech）物理学学院（Georgia Tech）的本科生（REU）网站的研究经验使本科生参与了一项沉浸式夏季研究经验，该研究经验为参与者提供了动手的物理研究和鼓励，以启动研究生研究。佐治亚理工学院与亚特兰大大学中心（Spelman College Clark Atlanta大学的Morehouse College，Spelman College）之间的这种多机构合作伙伴关系促进了该国在创造科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）方面创造高度训练，多样化的劳动力方面的利益。该网站的主要目标是：（1）提供高质量的研究经验，结合一系列专业发展活动，为来访的本科研究人员提供同伙，（2）激励和准备才华横溢的本科生来追求并取得成功，成功，研究生研究，（3）参与者的参与者的范围有限的参与者，以反映了美国的多样化的参与者（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4），（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）的参与者（4），（4）参与者的参与者（4）的参与者（4）。夏季计划以外的参与者返回家庭机构时，以及（6）财团中四个机构之间的研究和教学合作。该网站的其他组成部分包括团队建设活动，定期小组会议，研究研讨会系列，研讨会系列（例如，专注于道德，演示技巧和研究生机会），本科研究专题讨论会以及对工业和政府实验室的实地考察。一个教师的导师和研究小组与她/他的物理利益保持一致。夏季研究项目是从一系列可能性中选择的，从原子物理学到凝结物理学；从生活系统的物理学到天体物理学和计算物理学。该网站旨在增强佐治亚理工学院与亚特兰大大学中心的机构之间的相互作用，从而提高那些主要是本科，少数派服务机构的研究能力。该网站经过精心构建，以交织为REU参与者之间的高质量研究经验，指导和社区建设，以便为学生提供丰富，支持性的增长经验。完成本夏季体验的学生具有宝贵的技能（硬性和柔软），增强的观点以及一组永久的导师，以帮助追求其STEM职业。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获得支持的。
