Physics REU Directors' Workshop

该奖项支持为期两天的研讨会NSF研究经验的本科生（REU）物理站点授予主要研究人员讨论在当前REU程序的有效做法，以及了解更多关于有效的做法在程序以外的NSF-REU物理站点。 特别是，与会者将了解目前的结果，在评估ofundergraduate研究经验和方案，增加了本科研究计划的多样性，从其他学科，并讨论如何适应/采用theseideas物理REU网站。 与会者将讨论他们在个人计划中面临的当前挑战和机遇，以及物理REU网站计划作为一个整体所面临的挑战，并制定解决这些问题的计划。 将确定一个工作组或领导小组，以收集数据，研究问题，并向社区报告。 该工作组将以21世纪初成立的化学领导小组的成功模式为基础。 一个网站将专门为物理REU项目主任和PI创建，以便分享与项目相关的信息（包括研讨会报告），并促进与本科研究项目主任的未来沟通。 网站内容也将被公众浏览，因此任何从事本科研究的人都将受益于本次研讨会制作的报告。

This award supports a two-day workshop for NSF-Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Physics Site grant principal investigators to discuss both effective practices in the current REU programs as well as to learn more about effective practices in programs outside of the NSF-REU Physics Sites. In particular, the participants will learn about current results in assessment ofundergraduate research experiences and programs that have increased the diversity in undergraduate research programs from other disciplines and discuss how to adapt/adopt theseideas for Physics REU sites. Participants will discuss the current challenges and opportunities they face in their individual programs as well as challenges faced by the Physics REU-Site program as a whole and devise a plan for addressing these issues. A task-force or leadership group will be identified to gather data, study the issues and report back to the community. The task-force will be based on the successful model of the Chemistry Leadership group, which was formed in the early 2000s. A website will be created specifically for Physics REU program directors and PIs in order to share information relevant to the programs (including the workshop report) as well as to facilitate future communications with undergraduate research program directors. The website content will also be viewable by the public, thus anyone engaging in undergraduate research will benefit from the reports produced at this workshop.
