This award supports the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Colorado/JILA. The site will support eight students per year for ten weeks of summer research. The intellectual focus of this REU program is physics, and undergraduate students are paired up with preeminent faculty to do cutting-edge research in many fields of physics, including atomic, molecular, and optical physics, biophysics, condensed matter physics, high energy physics, nuclear physics, plasma physics, quantum physics, quantum information science, and physics education research. While the main emphasis of the summer is centered on each student's individual research lab, where the students are expected to master at least a part of a large task, a variety of other activities take place during the program. These include ethics, electronics, and machining classes, a program on "Getting Into Grad School," as well as lab tours and a weekly science seminar series aimed at the students. The program culminates with a day of presentations given by each of the REU students. Special efforts are made to include significant participation levels from women and minorities, as well as from students coming from smaller institutions that do not have as many research opportunities. This program fits in with the NSF goal of developing a diverse and internationally competitive scientific and engineering workforce. Active research experience is one of the most effective ways to attract talented undergraduates and retain them in careers in science and engineering.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.

该奖项支持科罗拉多大学/JILA 本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站的更新。该网站每年将支持八名学生进行十周的夏季研究。该REU项目的智力重点是物理学，本科生与杰出的教师配对，在物理学的许多领域进行前沿研究，包括原子、分子和光学物理学、生物物理学、凝聚态物理学、高能物理学、核物理、等离子体物理、量子物理、量子信息科学、物理教育研究。虽然暑期的重点是每个学生的个人研究实验室，学生应该至少掌握一项大型任务的一部分，但该项目期间还会举办各种其他活动。其中包括道德、电子和机械课程、“进入研究生院”计划、实验室参观和针对学生的每周科学研讨会系列。该项目以 REU 每位学生为期一天的演讲结束。我们做出了特别努力，以吸引女性和少数族裔以及来自没有那么多研究机会的小型机构的学生的大量参与。该计划符合 NSF 培养多元化且具有国际竞争力的科学和工程劳动力的目标。积极的研究经验是吸引才华横溢的本科生并留住他们从事科学和工程职业的最有效方法之一。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
