The proposers plan to provide opportunities for seven undergraduate students each summer to become active participants in solar physics research in the Earth-Sun Exploration Division in the Science and Exploration Directorate at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. These opportunities will combine the advantages of the multi-disciplinary environment of a NASA laboratory with the guidance provided by researchers committed to education, as well as the encouragement of women, underrepresented minorities, and students with disabilities. The proposers' previous fourteen years of experience managing an NSF REU site has enabled them to establish a formal program for students interested in Solar and Space Physics at the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA), and to develop NASA-funded opportunities in addition to those funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). During its existence as an NSF REU site, Catholic University of America (CUA) has seen over 250 students actively participate in over 270 different research opportunities, with many students continuing their space physics studies during the academic year.This proposal will allow CUA to provide promising undergraduates the opportunity to perform research in solar and space physics while working with scientists and engineers at one of the nation's premier scientific laboratories. Many of the students participating in this program become future engineers and scientists, and those who choose other careers greatly benefit themselves and society by having a deeper understanding of the importance of space science.

提议者计划每年夏天为七名本科生提供机会，使他们成为美国宇航局戈达德太空飞行中心科学与探索理事会地球-太阳探索司太阳物理学研究的积极参与者。这些机会将联合收割机NASA实验室多学科环境的优势，以及致力于教育的研究人员提供的指导，以及对妇女、代表性不足的少数民族和残疾学生的鼓励。提议者过去14年管理NSF REU网站的经验使他们能够为美国国家航空航天局（NASA）对太阳和空间物理感兴趣的学生建立正式的计划，并开发NASA资助的机会，以及国家科学基金会（NSF）资助的机会。在其作为NSF REU网站的存在期间，美国天主教大学（CUA）已经看到250多名学生积极参与270多个不同的研究机会，许多学生在学年期间继续他们的空间物理学研究。这一提议将使CUA提供有前途的本科生有机会在太阳和空间物理学方面进行研究，同时与科学家和工程师在一个全国最大的科学实验室。许多参加该计划的学生成为未来的工程师和科学家，而那些选择其他职业的人通过对空间科学的重要性有更深入的了解，极大地造福于自己和社会。
