This award supports the International REU site for Gravitational Physics hosted by the Physics Department at the University of Florida, Gainesville. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and NSF supported Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatories (LIGO) projects take advantage of a growing number of research-able faculty at small and minority colleges in support of their research efforts. At this REU site, undergraduate students will have an opportunity to establish contact with, experience the research environment of, and work beside international collaborators involved in all aspects of gravitational wave detection. They will be encouraged to develop ongoing projects with their international partners. Exposure to research will help cultivate students' independence, while the experience in an international setting will furnish them with contacts within a global network, as they pursue their future research. The research projects they are assigned will simultaneously advance scientific knowledge and enable their personal growth.Detection of gravitational waves requires extremely sophisticated techniques in experiment and analysis; it also involves large facilities, significant manpower and international collaborations. Research projects will take place at a variety of locations, including the Albert Einstein Institute, Hannover; APC, Paris; the National Astronomical Observatory, Tokyo; University of Glasgow; University of Birmingham; Cardiff University; University of Adelaide; Australian National University, Canberra; the University of Western Australia, Perth; Seoul National University, Seoul; Laboratoire de l'Accélérateur Linéaire, Orsay; National Institute for Subatomic Physics (NIKHEF), Amsterdam; University of Melbourne; and INFN laboratories, Italy - all in conjunction with the University of Florida. The student participants will gain experience in areas of astrophysics, computing, data analysis, electronics and optics, while pushing current technological boundaries. The experience will strengthen students’ interest in scientific research, establishing contacts for them in an international, collaborative network. One of the main objectives is to clarify the student participants’ future career plans by giving them a taste of what life is like as a graduate researcher, and by exposing them to the possibility of working overseas. This award advances the goals of the NSF Windows on the Universe Big Idea through the involvement of undergraduates in research in Multi-Messenger Astrophysics.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.

该奖项支持由盖恩斯维尔大学物理系主办的国际REU引力物理学。激光干涉仪空间天线（LISA）和NSF支持激光干涉仪重力仪观测器（LIGO）项目，利用了越来越多的小型和少数学院的可研究教师来支持他们的研究工作。在此REU网站上，本科生将有机会与参与引力波检测各个方面的国际合作者建立联系，体验研究环境和工作。他们将被鼓励与国际合作伙伴一起开发正在进行的项目。接触研究将有助于培养学生的独立性，而国际环境中的经验将为他们提供全球网络中的联系，因为他们追求未来的研究。他们被分配的研究项目将简单地提高科学知识并实现其个人成长。引力波的检测需要实验和分析中极为复杂的技术。它还涉及大型设施，重要的人力和国际合作。研究项目将在包括汉诺威的阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦研究所在内的各种地点进行；巴黎APC；东京国家天文天文台；格拉斯哥大学；伯明翰大学；加的夫大学；阿德拉德大学；澳大利亚国立大学，堪培拉；西澳大利亚大学珀斯；首尔国立大学，首尔； Laboratoire del'AccélérateurLinéaire，Orsay；阿姆斯特丹国家亚原理研究所（NIKHEF）；墨尔本大学；和意大利的INFN实验室 - 都与佛罗里达大学一起。学生参与者将在天体物理学，计算，数据分析，电子和光学方面获得经验，同时突破当前的技术界限。这一经验将增强学生对科学研究的兴趣，并在国际协作网络中为他们建立联系。主要目的之一是通过让他们对研究生研究人员的生活以及将他们暴露于海外工作的可能性来阐明学生的未来职业计划。该奖项通过本科生参与多理智的天体物理学研究的参与来促进NSF窗口在宇宙大概念上的目标。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响标准的智力优点通过评估来获得的支持。
