This award is funded in whole (or in part) under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). It supports the renewal and continuation of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in Physics at the University of Rochester. The site supports ten undergraduate students per year for ten weeks of summer research in the general areas of physics, astrophysics and optics with direct research in the sub-fields of neutrino and particle physics, cosmology and particle astrophysics, optics and quantum optics, condensed matters, plasma physics, and geophysics. Individual guidance and mentoring fostered within the faculty's research groups provides each participating student with the skills to navigate the world of science such as giving scientific talks or writing articles well, which will lead to the participants’ intellectual development as an independent researcher.The objective of the REU is to offer undergraduate students throughout the nation the opportunity to take part in physics research over a range of topics. Each student works with a faculty adviser on a specific project within the context of the overall research focus of the group. REU students attend weekly presentations by University faculty, tours of University research facilities, and social outings and may also take part in the Department's summer outreach activities. The program concludes with a student symposium, at which each student speaks on his/her research project; students submit written abstracts and reports of their research experiences. Students are strongly encouraged to continue their projects toward publication and are eligible for additional support to present their results at national student and professional conferences.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.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》（公法117-2）的全部（或部分）资助的。它支持罗切斯特大学物理学本科生（REU）网站的研究经验的更新和延续。该网站每年在夏季研究的十周大学研究中，在物理，天体物理学和光学的一般领域中为十个本科生提供支持，并在神经元和粒子物理学，宇宙学和粒子天体物理学，光学和量子光学，凝结事项，血浆物理学以及地球物理学的子场，宇宙学和粒子物理学，光学和量子物理学，光学和量子物理学，光学和量子物理学，光学和粒子物理学。教师研究小组中的个人指导和心理化为每个参与的学生提供了驾驭科学世界的技能，例如进行科学谈判或撰写文章，这将导致参与者作为独立研究人员的知识发展。REU的目的是为全国各地的学生提供有关众多范围的物理学研究的机会。每个学生都在小组的整体研究重点的背景下与教职顾问一起研究一个特定项目。 REU学生参加大学教师的每周演讲，大学研究设施和社交郊游，也可能会参加该部门的夏季外展活动。该计划以学生研讨会结束，每个学生都在其研究项目中讲话；学生提交书面摘要和研究经验的报告。强烈建议学生继续他们的项目出版，并有资格获得更多支持，以在国家学生和专业会议上呈现其成果。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估被认为是宝贵的支持。
