The Advancing Space Sciences through Undergraduate Research Experience (ASSURE) program at the University of California Space Sciences Laboratory provides undergraduate students with an immersive experience in space science research and engineering. Students are exposed to a multidisciplinary research laboratory setting, conducting cutting edge research alongside leaders in the field. The ASSURE program actively recruits participants from community colleges and other institutions serving populations historically underrepresented in the space and geosciences with the aim of providing research experience early in their careers. The interdisciplinary approach taken in the program is reflective of the range of skills that students may eventually face in the workforce.The ASSURE program supports research projects relating to the development of spacecraft instrumentation and hardware, data analysis, and high performance computing at the forefront of federally funded geospace research. Students involved in the program acquire experience required for design and management of experimental research programs and support a range of on-going geospace missions. The research staff at SSL is composed of a diverse international community working on a range of space physics missions in radio astronomy, magnetospheric physics, heliophysics, planetary science, high energy astrophysics, and maintains robust engineering facilities. The range of work at SSL provides ASSURE students with the opportunity to gain a comprehensive exposure to a range of geospace research, including space weather and other phenomena of national importance. The goals of this REU site are designed to address NSF strategic goals of “expanding knowledge in science, engineering and learning” and to “advance the capability of the nation to meet current and future challenges.”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.

加利福尼亚大学太空科学实验室通过本科研究经验（ASSIURE）计划的前进太空科学为本科生提供了空间科学研究和工程学的沉浸式经验。学生接触到多学科研究实验室环境，与该领域的领导者一起进行尖端研究。确保计划积极招募社区学院和其他机构，这些机构在空间和地球科学的历史上为人口不足，目的是在其职业生涯的早期提供研究经验。该计划中采用的跨学科方法反映了学生偶尔在劳动力中可能面临的技能范围。参与该计划的学生获得了设计和管理实验研究计划所需的经验，并支持一系列正在进行的地理空间任务。 SSL的研究人员由一个潜水员国际社会组成，从事射电天文学，磁性物理，热物理学，行星科学，高能量天体物理学的一系列太空物理任务，并维护强大的工程设施。 SSL的工作范围为确保学生提供了对一系列地理空间研究的全面接触，包括太空天气和其他国家重要性现象。此REU网站的目标旨在解决“扩大科学，工程和学习知识”的NSF战略目标，并“提高国家应对当前和未来挑战的能力”。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评估标准来评估值得支持。
