This award funds the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site in the Physics Department at the University of Chicago. The site will support twelve students for ten weeks of summer research at the University of Chicago each year. The program's core for each student is a well-defined 10- week summer research project under the supervision of a University of Chicago faculty member. The students will learn to communicate science by submitting a written report and making an oral presentation on their work.In their applications, the students are asked about which areas of research they are most interested in pursuing. They are then placed with faculty mentors who work in those specialties. These areas include high-energy physics, cosmic-ray physics, astrophysics, general relativity, condensed-matter physics, non-linear dynamics, biophysics, fluid mechanics, and topological physics. The program provides students with exposure to a broad set of topics across many areas of physics. This task is accomplished by a bi-weekly series of talks presented by faculty introducing some of the most important research topics currently pursued in the Department.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.

该奖项资助芝加哥大学物理系本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站。该网站每年将支持 12 名学生在芝加哥大学进行十周的夏季研究。该项目的核心是每个学生在芝加哥大学教职人员的监督下完成一个明确的为期 10 周的夏季研究项目。 学生将通过提交书面报告和口头陈述其工作来学习交流科学。在申请中，学生会被问及他们最感兴趣的研究领域。 然后，他们会被安置在这些专业的导师身边。 这些领域包括高能物理学、宇宙射线物理学、天体物理学、广义相对论、凝聚态物理学、非线性动力学、生物物理学、流体力学和拓扑物理学。该课程为学生提供了接触物理许多领域的广泛主题的机会。这项任务是通过每两周一次的一系列讲座来完成的，由教师们介绍该部门目前正在开展的一些最重要的研究主题。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和知识进行评估，被认为值得支持。更广泛的影响审查标准。
