9423922 Rafert The Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy (SARA) will conduct a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site in the area of astronomical science. The Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy (SARA), which is composed of the Florida Institute of Technology (FIT), East Tennessee State University (ETSU), Florida International University (FIU), the University of Georgia (UGA), and Valdosta State University (VSU), has an emphasis on undergraduate education and on one-on-one student involvement in faculty research projects. SARA is a cohesive and collegial consortium which spans the geography and culture of the southeastern United States. The SARA Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site emphasis will be on the preparation of students for careers in science and engineering through active interaction with faculty professionals who have a shared vision about the importance of independent undergraduate student research. The range of research projects available within the SARA REU Site program spans observational, theoreticaL and instrumental areas of astronomy. Each of the faculty who is involved in this project has previously demonstrated a high interest in undergraduate student research activities. SARA's primary astronomy facility, and current focal point for research activity, is a 0.9-meter telescope located at the Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO). Each of the participating SARA institutions has a substantial array of additional instructional astronomy equipment, facilities, and instructional expertise which will be available for the students. The REU Site program will serve to further develop astronomy education and research within the southeastern United States. Participating students will come into contact with the broad educational and research resources of the five SARA institutions. Each of the SARA institutions has a recruiting policy which strongly encourages minority applicants, gender equality, and student diversity.

9423922 Rafert 东南天文学研究协会 (SARA) 将在天文科学领域举办本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站。 东南天文学研究协会 (SARA) 由佛罗里达理工学院 (FIT)、东田纳西州立大学 (ETSU)、佛罗里达国际大学 (FIU)、佐治亚大学 (UGA) 和瓦尔多斯塔州立大学 (VSU) 组成，重视本科教育和一对一的学生参与教师研究项目。 SARA 是一个具有凝聚力的学院联盟，横跨美国东南部的地理和文化。 SARA 本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站的重点是通过与对独立本科生研究的重要性有着共同愿景的教师专业人士的积极互动，为学生在科学和工程领域的职业生涯做好准备。 SARA REU 站点计划内提供的研究项目范围涵盖天文学的观测、理论和仪器领域。 参与该项目的每位教师此前都对本科生研究活动表现出浓厚的兴趣。 SARA 的主要天文设施和当前研究活动的焦点是位于基特峰国家天文台 (KPNO) 的 0.9 米望远镜。 每个参与 SARA 的机构都拥有大量额外的天文学教学设备、设施和教学专业知识，可供学生使用。 REU 站点计划将有助于进一步发展美国东南部的天文学教育和研究。 参与的学生将接触到五个 SARA 机构的广泛教育和研究资源。 每个 SARA 机构都有一项大力鼓励少数族裔申请者、性别平等和学生多样性的招聘政策。
