A summer research program in Physics and Astronomy at the University of Oklahoma will provide undergraduates with an opportunity to materially participate in scientific research. Ten external students will be funded by the REU site grant and at least five internal students will be funded by a variety of sources within the University. A biweekly seminar series with strong emphasis on student participation and interaction with faculty and graduate students will enable the participants to gain the most benefit from their research experience. A distinguishing feature of the program will be the exposure of all student participants to both theoretical and experimental research in four distinct but well focused areas: astrophysics, atomic and molecular; condensed matter, and particle physics. External students will be recruited nationally and regionally with emphasis on underrepresented groups and participants who otherwise lack opportunities for research experience. The goal of the program is to encourage and prepare students to seek further educational and career opportunities in physics and astronomy.

俄克拉荷马州大学的物理学和天文学暑期研究项目将为本科生提供一个实质性参与科学研究的机会。 10名外部学生将由REU网站赠款资助，至少5名内部学生将由大学内的各种来源资助。 双周一次的研讨会系列，强调学生的参与和与教师和研究生的互动，使参与者能够从他们的研究经验中获得最大的好处。 该计划的一个显着特点将是所有学生参与者在四个不同但重点突出的领域进行理论和实验研究：天体物理学，原子和分子;凝聚态物质和粒子物理学。 外部学生将在全国和区域范围内招募，重点是代表性不足的群体和参与者，否则他们缺乏研究经验的机会。 该计划的目标是鼓励和准备学生在物理学和天文学寻求进一步的教育和职业机会。
