This award is to support the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site program at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. The objectives of this REU site are: (1) to introduce undergraduate physics majors to the excitement of physics research, (2) to train these students in the laboratory skills needed in modern physics research, (3) to foster student personal growth by having the students work in teams and by teaching them the ethical dimension of scientific research, and (4) to promote diversity in the field of physics by encouraging applicants and participants from under-represented groups. The Idaho physics faculty will design research projects that are challenging yet viable. Both theoretical and experimental projects will be made available. The students will be encouraged to work in small groups to foster teamwork skills. Weekly meetings will be held to allow the students to interact and to keep each other posted on their progress. The REU students will interact with Idaho faculty, research staff personnel, post-doctoral researchers, graduate students and undergraduates. Supplementary activities will include weekly lunch together with faculty and weekend activities that revolve around the tremendous outdoor experiences available in Idaho. The program will conclude with REU student research presentations.

该奖项是为了支持爱达荷州莫斯科市爱达荷州大学本科生研究体验(REU)现场项目的续签。该REU网站的目标是：(1)向物理学专业的本科生介绍物理研究的兴奋；(2)培训这些学生现代物理研究所需的实验室技能；(3)通过让学生分组工作并向他们传授科学研究的伦理层面来促进学生的个人成长；(4)通过鼓励来自代表性不足群体的申请者和参与者来促进物理领域的多样性。爱达荷州的物理教员将设计具有挑战性但可行的研究项目。理论和实验项目都将提供。将鼓励学生以小组形式工作，以培养团队合作能力。每周举行一次会议，让学生们进行互动，并随时了解他们的进展情况。REU学生将与爱达荷州的教职员工、研究人员、博士后研究人员、研究生和本科生进行互动。补充活动将包括每周与教职员工一起共进午餐，以及围绕爱达荷州丰富的户外体验的周末活动。该计划将以REU学生研究报告结束。
