Rachel Merritt is awarded an NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences Ascending Postdoctoral Research Fellowship to conduct a program of research and activities related to broaden participation by groups underrepresented in STEM. This fellowship to Dr. Merritt supports her research project entitled “Postdoctoral Fellowship: MPS-Ascend: Searching for a CURE: How to Engage All Students in Research” under the mentorship of a sponsoring scientist. The host institution for the fellowship is the University of Colorado Boulder and the sponsoring scientist is Dr. Heather Lewandowski.Dr. Merritt will pursue a research project to work on the identification of physics-specific challenges and opportunities in creating and sustaining course-based undergraduate.research experiences, or CUREs. She will use a design-based research approach to create a CURE course to use as the research ‘laboratory’ for investigating which components of a physics CURE lead to specific outcomes. This knowledge will result in the development of a framework of effective practices to create and sustain CUREs in physics. Dr. Merritt will include Minority Serving Institutions in the CURE project to ensure the participation of students from historically underserved and currently underrepresented groups. The framework resulting from this project, and the new physics CURE developed, will foster the creation and sustainability of physics CUREs across the Nation. These CUREs will empower physics students by providing access to authentic research opportunities and better preparing them for their next career step in STEM.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.

雷切尔·梅里特（Rachel Merritt）被授予NSF数学和物理科学升级博士后研究奖学金，以进行研究和活动计划，该计划与STEM中代表性不足的小组的参与有关。在赞助科学家的指导下，这项授予梅里特博士的奖学金支持她的研究项目，名为“博士后奖学金：MPS-ASCEND：寻找治疗方法：如何让所有学生参与研究”。奖学金的主持机构是科罗拉多大学博尔德大学，赞助科学家是Heather Lewandowski.dr博士。梅里特（Merritt）将追求一个研究项目，以识别特定于物理学的挑战和机遇，以创建和维持基于课程的本科。研究经验或治疗方法。她将使用基于设计的研究方法来创建一种治疗课程，以作为研究“实验室”的研究“实验室”，以调查物理治疗的哪些组成部分会导致特定的结果。这些知识将导致发展有效实践框架，以创建和维持物理治疗。 Merritt博士将在CURE项目中包括少数民族服务机构，以确保来自历史悠久和目前代表性不足的团体的学生参与。该项目产生的框架以及开发的新物理治疗将促进全国物理治疗的创造和可持续性。这些疗法将通过提供真正的研究机会的访问权限并为他们的下一个职业生涯做好准备，以赋予物理专业的能力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，通过评估被认为是珍贵的支持。
