The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, along with partner organizations, South Dakota State University, and the University of South Dakota will offer an innovative Research Experiences for Undergraduate (REU) Site focused on interdisciplinary research dedicated to Security Printing and Anti-Counterfeiting Technology (SPACT), to a diverse cohort of undergraduate students. Counterfeiting is a growing issue in the U.S., posing serious economic, safety and national security concerns and impacting a wide variety of industries (e.g. pharmaceutics, semiconductors). REU participants will engage in interdisciplinary collaborative research that pairs physical scientists and engineers with social and behavioral scientists. This convergent approach is crucial for addressing and disrupting the complexity inherent to modern illicit supply networks. During this 10-week summer research experience, 10 REU students will conduct research on transformative anti-counterfeiting technology. SPACT is a field which demands development in four key areas: (i) advanced materials, (ii) advanced manufacturing and patterning, (ii) detection and encryption, and (iv) social/behavior science and systems engineering. The key objectives of the program are to (1) conduct transformative research in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment, and (2) provide STEM professional development opportunities to a diverse group of undergraduate students, with a focus on Tribal Colleges and other institutions with limited STEM research opportunities. A talented team of faculty mentors from a variety of STEM disciplines, with a wide spectrum of experience and backgrounds, will implement a program in SPACT by engaging REU participants in interdisciplinary collaborative research that pairs physical scientists and engineers with social and behavioral scientists. Students will also participate in a highly integrated professional development and technical communications program designed to stimulate professional development and the development of research skills necessary to succeed in the 21st century. The faculty, alongside industry leaders, will deliver training seminars to broaden the students' existing academic training in the relevant SPACT areas. The long-term goal is to provide a diverse group of STEM researchers with the training and skills needed to pursue graduate studies at the highest levels and to advance the developing field of SPACT.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.

南达科他州矿业与技术学院与合作伙伴组织、南达科他州立大学和南达科他大学将提供创新的本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站，重点关注安全印刷和防伪技术的跨学科研究（SPACT），面向不同的本科生群体。 假货在美国是一个日益严重的问题，造成严重的经济、安全和国家安全问题，并影响多个行业（例如制药、半导体）。 REU 参与者将参与跨学科合作研究，将物理科学家和工程师与社会和行为科学家配对。这种融合方法对于解决和破坏现代非法供应网络固有的复杂性至关重要。在为期 10 周的暑期研究经历中，10 名 REU 学生将进行变革性防伪技术的研究。 SPACT 是一个需要在四个关键领域发展的领域：（i）先进材料，（ii）先进制造和图案化，（ii）检测和加密，以及（iv）社会/行为科学和系统工程。该计划的主要目标是 (1) 在协作、跨学科环境中进行变革性研究，以及 (2) 为多元化的本科生群体提供 STEM 专业发展机会，重点关注部落学院和其他 STEM 有限的机构研究机会。来自不同 STEM 学科、具有广泛经验和背景的才华横溢的教师导师团队将通过让 REU 参与者参与跨学科合作研究来实施 SPACT 项目，将物理科学家和工程师与社会和行为科学家配对。学生还将参加高度综合的专业发展和技术交流计划，旨在刺激专业发展和发展在 21 世纪取得成功所必需的研究技能。教师们将与行业领袖一起举办培训研讨会，以扩大学生在 SPACT 相关领域的现有学术培训。长期目标是为多元化的 STEM 研究人员群体提供攻读最高水平的研究生所需的培训和技能，并推动 SPACT 领域的发展。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为值得支持通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估。
