This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). This award supports opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in ongoing research projects in experimental physics are structured in a summer REU program at the University of Arizona. Students may choose from a wide variety of forefront physics activities, under the direction of senior faculty members from the Department of Physics at the University of Arizona, or also from in research groups located in several other university academic units including Astronomy, Chemistry, Optical Sciences, Lunar and Planetary Studies, and Atmospheric Sciences. The primary source of participants is students who have completed the equivalent of the first or second year curriculum in science or engineering at Pima Community College, in preparation for transfer to a 4-year degree program (although all undergraduate students are eligible to apply). Graduate Teaching Assistants from the physics department serve as mentors for the participants. Special orientation and skills activities are individually tailored to enable the students to make significant contributions to the research projects.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该奖项支持本科生参加正在进行的实验物理研究项目的机会，这些项目是在亚利桑那大学的一个夏季REU项目中组织的。在亚利桑那大学物理系高级教师的指导下，学生可以从各种前沿物理活动中进行选择，也可以从位于其他大学学术单位的研究小组中进行选择，包括天文学、化学、光学科学、月球和行星研究以及大气科学。参与者的主要来源是在皮马社区学院完成了相当于一年级或二年级的科学或工程课程，准备转到四年制学位课程的学生（尽管所有本科生都有资格申请）。来自物理系的研究生助教为参与者提供指导。特别的定向和技能活动是量身定制的，使学生能够为研究项目做出重大贡献。
