This award supports the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) and Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) site in physics and astronomy at the University of Oklahoma. Eight undergraduate students and two high school teachers per year will be involved in summer research projects in astrophysics, atomic and molecular physics, condensed matter physics, or high energy physics. Teachers will participate in research and will also develop and build small-scale experiments, demonstrations, and curriculum that can be transported or replicated in the classroom. The goal of the site is to bridge the gap from student (or teacher) to scientist through substantive, consequential research mentored daily by a faculty member. The program will help to improve STEM education, develop a better infrastructure for research and education, and develop the STEM workforce that is needed for the Nation.Students and teachers will be exposed to a broad range of science, from particle physics to cosmology, and from abstract theoretical to concrete applied physics. In addition, a key component of the program consists of a semiweekly seminar series covering the differences between physics research and physics classes, career options for physicists both in academics and industry, insight into life in physics research, career development, and applying and preparing for graduate school. The students themselves presenting their own work will give the final seminars. Finally, the site will offer a series of voluntary courses and seminars that expose the students to research tools. Teachers will participate in the seminar series, in research, and in the development of classroom-ready experiments.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.

该奖项支持俄克拉荷马大学物理和天文学本科生研究经验 (REU) 和教师研究经验 (RET) 网站的更新。每年有八名本科生和两名高中教师将参与天体物理学、原子和分子物理学、凝聚态物理学或高能物理学的夏季研究项目。教师将参与研究，还将开发和构建可以在课堂上传输或复制的小规模实验、演示和课程。该网站的目标是通过教职员工每天指导的实质性、有影响力的研究来弥合学生（或教师）与科学家之间的差距。该计划将有助于改善 STEM 教育，开发更好的研究和教育基础设施，并培养国家所需的 STEM 劳动力。学生和教师将接触到从粒子物理学到宇宙学的广泛科学知识，并从抽象的理论到具体的应用物理学。此外，该计划的一个关键组成部分包括每半周一次的系列研讨会，涵盖物理研究和物理课程之间的差异、物理学家在学术界和工业界的职业选择、对物理研究生活的洞察、职业发展以及申请和准备研究所。学生们将亲自展示自己的作品，并进行最后的研讨会。最后，该网站将提供一系列自愿课程和研讨会，让学生接触研究工具。教师将参加系列研讨会、研究以及课堂实验的开发。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
