The REU Site Research Experiences for American Leadership of Industry with Zero Emissions by 2050 (REALIZE-2050), hosted by the University of Cincinnati (UC), will build an interdisciplinary research training program to accelerate technology innovations for meeting the U.S. net-zero carbon emissions target by 2050. Climate change is the defining issue of our time, and CO2 emissions are a major catalyst of climate change that cannot be mitigated by any single strategy alone. This ten-week program will expose 30 undergraduate students with diverse backgrounds to cutting-edge research in energy efficiency, industrial electrification, energy storage, low-carbon fuels, renewable energy, and carbon capture/utilization. Students will work closely with 12 world-class faculty mentors across five departments and two colleges and in UC’s state-of-the-art research facilities to address fundamental research challenges in decarbonization of energy generation, manufacturing, infrastructure, and transportation and gain a holistic understanding of the global challenge of mitigating climate change. The REU experience will significantly impact students’ overall development and career trajectory. This impact can be more substantial for students from underrepresented groups and institutions that are not research-intensive. Students will bring their knowledge, expertise, and connections to their home institutions to positively impact their broader community. The REU Site hosted by the University of Cincinnati (UC), REALIZE-2050 (Research Experiences for American Leadership of Industry with Zero Emissions by 2050), will build an interdisciplinary research training program to accelerate technology innovations for meeting the U.S. net-zero carbon emissions target by 2050. The REALIZE-2050 project introduces student participants to convergent research approaches to meet the U.S. decarbonization targets, leveraging major transformations in domestic manufacturing, human-technology interfaces, and the new energy economy. In this learner-centered program, students will research multiple facets of the decarbonization technologies and assess the technological maturity, feasibility, and impacts of emerging alternatives. The research activities will be supervised by faculty mentors who are decarbonization experts, ensuring that students gain skills, knowledge, and awareness of critical technologies to achieve net-zero emissions. Leveraging UC’s location near the center of U.S. manufacturing investments, the integrated cohort activities are designed to raise students’ awareness of industrial decarbonation efforts through manufacturing innovations. Participants will report their findings through podcasts designed to broaden public understanding of the role of scientific research in decarbonization. An emphasis on recruiting from minority-serving institutions will enable the REALIZE-2050 REU to showcase the diversity of voices in STEM while creating a lasting contribution to the national dialogue in a time of rapid change in manufacturing, energy, security, climate, and the economy. Results from the assessment activities will be critically evaluated and disseminated in the engineering education community and thus contribute to innovation in undergraduate research programs nationwide.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.

辛辛那提大学（UC）主持的REU网站研究经验，到2050年到2050年（实现2050年）（实现2050年），将建立一项跨学科的研究培训计划，以加速技术创新，以加速技术创新，以满足美国净零碳排放的目标。到2050仅任何单一策略。这个为期十周的计划将使30名具有潜水员背景的本科生在能源效率，工业电气化，能源储能，低碳燃料，可再生能源和碳捕获/利用方面的尖端研究。学生将与五个部门和两个学院的12位世界一流的教职员工紧密合作，并在UC的最先进的研究设施中，以应对能源发电，制造，基础设施以及运输以及对缓解气候变化的全球挑战的全面理解的基本研究挑战。 REU体验将极大地影响学生的整体发展和职业轨迹。对于不富有研究的群体和机构的学生而言，这种影响可能会更大。学生将把他们的知识，专业知识和联系带给他们的家庭机构，以积极影响更广泛的社区。由辛辛那提大学（UC）主持的REU网站，实现2050（到2050年到2050年，美国行业领导力的研究经验）将建立一项跨学科的研究培训计划，以加速技术创新，以实现美国净零碳排放目标，以达到2050年的目标。国内制造，人类技术界面和新的能源经济。在这个以学习者为中心的计划中，学生将研究脱碳技术的多个方面，并评估新兴替代方案的技术成熟度，可行性和影响。研究活动将受到脱碳专家的教师导师的监督，以确保学生获得对关键技术的技能，知识和认识，以实现零排放。利用UC在美国制造投资中心附近的位置，综合队列活动旨在通过制造创新提高学生对工业脱碳工作的认识。参与者将通过播客报告他们的发现，旨在扩大公众对科学研究在脱碳化中的作用的理解。强调从少数派服务机构招募的招募将使Inalited-2050 REU能够展示STEM中的多样性，同时在制造，能源，安全，气候和经济的迅速变化的时候为国家对话做出了持久的贡献。评估活动的结果将在工程教育社区进行严格评估和传播，因此在全国范围内的本科研究计划中为创新做出了贡献。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审查标准来评估NSF的法定任务。
