A physics research program for nine undergraduate students is planned at University of California, Irvine each summer for the next three years. The program involves projects with a variety of physics research groups under close supervision by faculty and senior research staff. Research opportunities are offered in the areas of experimental elementary particle physics, condensed matter, plasma physics, and astrophysics. Close contact between student participants, encouraging the sharing of research experiences in these varied areas, is promoted by providing shared housing, and through social activities. The research experience is further enhanced through a seminar series, visits to the labs of fellow participants, and excursions to other research labs in the Los Angeles area. The program is administered by the co-principal investigator, a woman who has involved undergraduates extensively in her own research leading to numerous papers including undergraduate authors. With the assistance of the project PI, this administrator arranges publicity, recruitment, orientation, seminars, excursions, a postsummer follow-up program, and generally works to insure a valuable research experience for students in the program. ***

在接下来的三年里，加州大学欧文分校计划每年夏天为九名本科生开设一个物理研究项目。该项目涉及在教职员工和高级研究人员的密切监督下，与各种物理研究小组合作的项目。在实验基本粒子物理学、凝聚态物质、等离子体物理学和天体物理学领域提供研究机会。学生参与者之间的密切联系，鼓励分享这些不同领域的研究经验，通过提供共用住房和社会活动来促进。通过举办一系列研讨会，参观其他参与者的实验室，以及到洛杉矶地区的其他研究实验室进行短途旅行，进一步加强了研究体验。该项目由联合首席研究员负责管理，她是一名女性，曾让本科生广泛参与自己的研究，从而发表了包括本科生作者在内的大量论文。在PI项目的帮助下，这位管理员安排宣传、招聘、迎新、研讨会、短途旅行、暑期后跟踪计划，并通常努力确保该计划中的学生获得宝贵的研究经验。***
