This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor provides fifteen undergraduate students each summer the opportunity to participate in research on topics in high energy physics at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. In addition to participating in research with an experienced mentor, the REU students will engage in activities such as seminars and lectures to learn to understand the nature of international scientific collaborations and the questions and methods of modern physics research. This project also supports eight high school teachers to attend a two-week HST(High School Teacher) or ITW (International Teacher Weeks) program at CERN. The teachers will use their experience to motivate their students to better understand the physical world and prepare them to become the future generation of scientists. Teachers also share teaching methods with teachers from other countries. Research and study at CERN will provide unparalleled opportunities for students and teachers to learn about and work on some of the most intellectually challenging topics in high energy physics. Students working on cutting edge problems at CERN experience an intellectual apprenticeship and learn to understand the nature of international scientific collaborations and the questions and methods of modern physics research. Student projects at CERN will include experiments involving the Large Hadron Collider, other low energy and neutrino experiments, and CERN computing research.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.

每年夏天，密歇根大学安阿伯大学的本科生（REU）地点的这项研究经验提供了15名本科生，有机会参加瑞士日内瓦欧洲核研究（CERN）高能物理学主题的研究。除了与经验丰富的导师一起参加研究之外，REU学生还将从事研讨会和讲座等活动，以学习了解国际科学合作的本质以及现代物理学研究的问题和方法。该项目还支持八名高中教师参加CERN的为期两周的HST（高中老师）或ITW（国际教师周）计划。老师将利用他们的经验来激励他们的学生更好地了解物理世界，并准备成为未来的科学家。教师还与其他国家的教师分享教学方法。 CERN的研究和研究将为学生和老师提供无与伦比的机会，以了解和研究高能量物理学中一些最具挑战性的主题。在CERN上从事尖端问题的学生经历了智力学徒制，并学会了解国际科学合作的性质以及现代物理研究的问题和方法。 CERN的学生项目将包括涉及大型强子对撞机，其他低能量和中微子实验的实验，以及CERN Computing Research。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并认为使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的审查标准，认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
