This award is funded in whole (or in part) under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). The award supports the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in physics at Indiana University (IU). The program will support up to fifteen participants for 10 weeks during the summers of 2022-24 to carry out experimental and theoretical research projects in a broad range of areas in the IU Physics Department and the IU Center for Exploration of Energy and Matter (CEEM). Twelve (12) students from schools throughout the U.S. will be recruited, with preference to students from institutions where research opportunities for undergraduates may be limited. Two or three (2-3) local IU students will also be invited to participate in the program. Special programs for the students include orientation sessions on lab safety, weekly seminars on current research in physics, discussions on professional development and scientific ethics, and short progress reports. At the conclusion of the program, the students will present their results in talks at a closing symposium and develop a way to share their results to a technical audience. They will also be encouraged and supported to continue working on their projects as well as to present their work at professional meetings during the following academic year. The program provides interested and promising undergraduate physics majors with significant and challenging experiences in scientific research in a research-intensive environment. Students will be matched to projects appropriate to their level and interests, and early contact of students and mentors will be encouraged. The participants will gain original research experience by working as integral parts of ongoing research programs under the supervision of faculty members and senior research staff. Students will learn about a broad range of current research areas through seminars and peer interactions. Research projects will be available in a variety of areas, including experimental and theoretical research in astrophysics, biophysics, condensed matter physics, elementary particle physics, materials physics, and nuclear physics. The program emphasizes the development of clear, honest, and concise scientific communication and presentation skills.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。该奖项支持印第安纳大学（IU）物理学本科生（REU）网站的研究经验的更新。该计划将在2022 - 24年的夏季为10周的参与者提供支持，以在IU物理部和IU能源和物质探索IU探索中心（CEEM）中进行实验和理论研究项目。将招募来自美国整个学校的十二（12）名学生，而不是来自本科生研究机会的机构的学生。还将邀请两三个（2-3）本地IU学生参加该计划。学生的特殊课程包括有关实验室安全的定向课程，有关当前物理学研究的每周研讨会，有关专业发展和科学伦理的讨论以及简短的进度报告。在计划结束时，学生将在闭幕研讨会上进行演讲，并开发一种与技术受众分享结果的方法。他们还将受到鼓励和支持，以继续从事项目，并在接下来的学年在专业会议上介绍他们的工作。该计划在研究密集型环境中为科学研究提供了兴趣且有前途的本科生专业的专业。学生将与适合其水平和兴趣的项目相匹配，并鼓励学生和导师的早期联系。参与者将通过在教职员工和高级研究人员的监督下作为正在进行的研究计划的组成部分来获得原始的研究经验。学生将通过研讨会和同伴互动来了解当前的研究领域。研究项目将在各个领域提供，包括天体物理学，生物物理学，冷凝物理学，基本粒子物理，材料物理学和核物理学的实验和理论研究。该计划强调了清晰，诚实和简洁的科学沟通和演示技巧的发展。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准，认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
