This award is in support of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates site located the Rice Quantum Institute at Rice University. The REU program conducted by the Rice Quantum Institute (RQI) brings students from outside universities to Rice University for a ten-week interdisciplinary summer research program. Each student works directly within the research group of a faculty mentor from science and engineering departments within RQI. Each project is designed to be part of a long-range research program by the faculty mentor, but individual to the student and manageable within ten weeks. The students are collectively exposed to different disciplines by contact with a variety of research groups in other labs, weekly seminars by Rice grad students and frequent scientific and social interactions (as well as joint housing) with the other REU students. In mid-session, the students present brief computer presentations to each other and the PI of the context, goals, hurdles and long-range expected yield of their projects. During the final week, written reports are turned in, exit interviews are performed, and, on the last day, students present their work at the RQI Colloquium. This annual event, which assembles a large audience made up of REU students, of research groups and others from Rice, as well as interested outsiders from neighboring schools and industries, showcases research going on within the Institute. This site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program, and by the Physics Division, the Division of Materials Research, and the Chemistry Division within the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

该奖项是为了支持位于莱斯大学莱斯量子研究所的本科生研究经验网站。 由莱斯量子研究所（RQI）进行的REU计划将来自外部大学的学生带到莱斯大学进行为期十周的跨学科夏季研究计划。 每个学生都直接在RQI内科学和工程部门的教师导师的研究小组内工作。 每个项目都被设计成教师导师的长期研究计划的一部分，但对学生来说是个人的，并在十周内进行管理。 学生们通过与其他实验室的各种研究小组接触，赖斯格拉德生每周的研讨会以及与其他REU学生频繁的科学和社会互动（以及联合住房），集体接触不同的学科。 在中期会议上，学生提出简短的计算机演示给对方和PI的背景下，目标，障碍和长期预期收益的项目。 在最后一周，提交书面报告，进行离职面谈，并在最后一天，学生在RQI座谈会上介绍他们的工作。 这个一年一度的活动，它聚集了由REU学生，研究小组和其他来自赖斯，以及来自邻近学校和行业感兴趣的局外人组成的大量观众，展示了研究所内正在进行的研究。 该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作，并由数学和物理科学理事会内的物理部，材料研究部和化学部共同资助。
