This award supports the renewal of an REU site in he Department of Physics at the University of California, San Diego. The primary goal of the program is to offer research opportunities to students at smaller universities, and also campuses with a large body of talented students from groups currently underrepresented in graduate education. Student projects will include experimental, theoretical, and computational research in high energy physics, condensed matter physics, biophysics, plasma physics, astrophysics and nonlinear physics. State-of-the-art experimental and computational facilities will be available to all participants. Students will participate in an individual research project supervised by a Physics Department faculty member. Students will be integrated into the research groups of their supervisors, giving them a first hand view of research in an academic setting. In this fashion, the program will create a dynamic and stimulating environment for undergraduate students exposing them to cutting-edge esearch across disciplines. For all the students, but particularly for students from smaller schools with little or no local research efforts this may be their only chance to see how different research is from classroom physics. On arriving, students will work with their faculty advisors to prepare and present a proposed project. At the end of the summer, they will write a final research report and give a presentation at a campus wide Undergraduate Summer Research. The REU program includes seminars by physics faculty,laboratory tours, seminars/workshops on computer usage, laboratory safety and library research, and joint scientific seminars and meetings with the groups from other departments. Participants will be offered a mini-course on scientific integrity.

该奖项支持在他物理系在加州，圣地亚哥大学的REU网站的更新。该计划的主要目标是为规模较小的大学的学生提供研究机会，以及目前在研究生教育中代表性不足的群体中有大量有才华的学生的校园。学生项目将包括高能物理、凝聚态物理、生物物理、等离子体物理、天体物理和非线性物理的实验、理论和计算研究。将向所有参加者提供最先进的实验和计算设施。 学生将参加由物理系教师监督的个人研究项目。学生将融入他们的导师的研究小组，让他们在学术环境中的研究的第一手资料。以这种方式，该计划将为本科生创造一个充满活力和刺激的环境，让他们接触到跨学科的前沿知识。 对于所有的学生来说，特别是对于那些很少或根本没有当地研究工作的小学校的学生来说，这可能是他们唯一的机会来看看研究与课堂物理有多大的不同。抵达后，学生将与他们的导师一起准备和提出一个拟议的项目。在夏季结束时，他们将写一份最终的研究报告，并在校园范围内的本科夏季研究报告。REU计划包括物理系教师研讨会，实验室图尔斯参观，计算机使用研讨会/讲习班，实验室安全和图书馆研究，以及与其他部门的小组联合科学研讨会和会议。将向参加者提供一个关于科学诚信的小型课程。
