This award will support the renewal of a 10-week research experience program for ten undergraduate students each year at Cornell University. The student interns will be involved in research projects which include current and future planetary missions, exoplanets, time domain radio astronomy, gravitational waves, star formation across cosmic time, and astronomical instrumentation, all under the direct guidance of a cohort of dedicated mentors. The students will also participate in personal and professional development programs that encompass (e.g.) psychosocial support, hands-on computational tutorials, career path options in STEM, research and communication skills, and scientific writing, as well as half-day workshops on various cutting- edge topics in astronomy. The REU student experience will also feature local field trips, including one to a fossil rich stone quarry.In addition to providing an immersive scientific research experience, the program also emphasizes inclusivity by actively working to increase the participation of under-represented minorities and women, as well as non-standard students (e.g., single parents with young children, veterans, and 1st generation college students) in astronomy and related STEM fields. Their continued success in these efforts is a highlight of the program.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.

该奖项将支持每年在康奈尔大学为10个本科生的10周研究经验计划的续签。学生实习生将参与研究项目，其中包括当前和未来的行星任务，系外行星，时域射电天文学，引力波，跨宇宙时间的恒星形成以及天文学仪器，所有这些都在一系列专门的导师的直接指导下。学生还将参加涵盖（例如）心理社会支持，动手计算教程，STEM的职业道路选择，研究和沟通技巧以及科学写作的职业道路选择以及有关各种天文学的各种切削边缘主题的半天研讨会。 REU学生的经验还将包括当地的实地考察，包括一项到化石丰富的石材采石场。除了提供沉浸式的科学研究经验外，该计划还通过主动努力提高代表性不足的少数族裔和女性的参与来强调包容性，以及与年龄段的学生以及年幼的孩子，Veterans和Veterans and Saters and Saterry and Saterry and Saterry inst Attranty inters and Saterry in Calters inters and Saterry in Calterry and Nict-Parthers学生（例如，他们在这些努力中的持续成功是该计划的重点。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，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值得支持。
