The Stony Brook Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Physics and Astronomy brings 13 undergraduate students to the Stony Brook campus each summer for participation in an eight-week program of forefront research in the laboratories of Stony Brook physics and astronomy faculty members. The immediate aim of the program is to provide training in, encourage interest in, and appreciation of, scientific research in physics and to facilitate career planning by the actual doing of research in a collegial setting, by site visits to research laboratories at Stony Brook and Brookhaven National Laboratory, by weekly seminars on current problems in physics and finally by presentations of student research results in a formal symposium and a written report at the conclusion of the program. Outstanding projects are submitted for presentation at national student research symposia.The program offers research opportunities in the areas of astronomy, atmospheric physics, high-energy particle physics, instructional laboratory instrumentation, lasers and optics, nuclear physics and solid-state/condensed matter physics. Most projects are experimental but a few are theoretical. Recruiting efforts concentrate on sophomore and junior level physics majors of high academic standing, many from colleges in which research opportunities are limited. The broader aims of the program include increasing the national pool of qualified scientific researchers, and fostering understanding of research methods to those who go on to other fields of endeavor such as, for example, science/ engineering administration, patent law, or secondary school teaching. Particular efforts are made to attract women and students from under-represented minorities.

物理学和天文学本科生的斯托尼布鲁克研究经验每年夏天将13名本科生带到斯托尼布鲁克校园，参加为期八周的斯托尼布鲁克物理学和天文学教师实验室前沿研究计划。 该计划的直接目的是提供培训，鼓励兴趣和欣赏，在物理学科学研究，并通过在大学环境中实际做研究，通过现场访问斯托尼布鲁克和布鲁克海文国家实验室的研究实验室，通过每周一次的讨论会，讨论当前的物理问题，最后在正式的专题讨论会上介绍学生的研究成果，并在讨论会结束时提交书面报告。程序. 优秀的项目提交给全国学生研究座谈会。该计划提供了在天文学，大气物理学，高能粒子物理学，教学实验室仪器，激光和光学，核物理和固态/凝聚态物理领域的研究机会。 大多数项目是实验性的，但也有一些是理论性的。招聘工作集中在大二和大三的高学术地位的物理专业，许多来自研究机会有限的大学。该计划的更广泛的目标包括增加合格的科学研究人员的国家储备，并促进对研究方法的理解，以那些继续奋进的其他领域，如科学/工程管理，专利法或中学教学。 特别努力吸引代表性不足的少数民族的妇女和学生。
