The Ohio State University Summer Physics Institute/REU

* 帕尔默这笔赠款将为俄亥俄州州立大学暑期物理研究所提供初步支持，该研究所旨在鼓励学生通过介绍他们并参与主要研究型大学物理系的研究活动来追求物理学研究事业。 该研究所将支持为期十周的研究实习，包括津贴，生活费和旅行。 学生们将在他们的教师导师的指导下，在包括研究生和博士后学生在内的研究小组中共同生活和工作。 他们将参与计算物理，仪器仪表和电子产品以及商店安全和程序的教程，但主要重点将是教师导师和学生共同开发的项目。 小组活动旨在促进实习生与系内学生和教师研究人员之间的互动和关系。 每个实习生将在夏季初撰写一份项目计划书，并在夏季结束时撰写最终的口头和书面报告。 该计划的目的是为学生谁是物理专业的本科课程，谁是他们的大二和大三或大三和大四之间，但鼓励所有本科生申请。 重点将是区域性的，但研究所将在全国范围内进行宣传。 将特别努力让妇女和少数民族参与。 将大力鼓励该地区许多小型本科院校派遣申请人。 招聘和甄选委员会包括当地一所小型学院的代表，以及在少数民族和妇女外联领域全国知名的教员。 ***

*** Palmer This grant will provide initial support for the Ohio State University Summer Physics Institute which is designed to encourage students to pursue research careers in physics by introducing them to and engaging in the research activities of a major research university physics department. The Institute will support ten-week research internships, including a stipend, subsistence, and travel. Students will live and work together, guided by their faculty mentors, in research groups that include graduate students and post- doctoral students. They will engage in tutorials on computational physics, instrumentation and electronics, and shop safety and procedures, but the main focus will be the project that the faculty mentor and the students jointly develop. Group activities are designed to promote interactions and relationships among the intern students and the Department's student and faculty researchers. Each intern will write a project prospectus early in the summer and a final oral and written report at the end of the summer. The program is intended for students who are physics majors in undergraduate programs and who are between their sophomore and junior year or their junior and senior year, but all undergraduates are encouraged to apply. The focus will be regional, but the Institute will be advertised nationally. A particular attempt will be made to involve women and minorities. The many small undergraduate institutions in the region will be strongly encouraged to send applicants. The recruitment and selection committee includes a representative of a local small college, as well as faculty members nationally prominent in areas of outreach to minorities and women. ***
