This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This award provides funding for a new Research Experiences for Undergraduate site focused on human-centered computing at Clemson University. The objective of the REU site is to provide talented undergraduate students genuine research experiences through immersion into the activities of and culture of a research lab. The project recruits students locally and nationally from undergraduate institutions with emphasis on minority and women students. Each year 10 students participate in on-going research being conducted in the Cybersociety Lab and the Virtual Reality and Eye Tracking Lab. The students receive 8 weeks of intensive training in the research areas, support from peer and faculty mentors, and professional development opportunities. The intellectual merit of this project lies in the potential contributions to the field human-centered computing of the research. The project has an excellent faculty leadership team that has an outstanding track record in advances in the timely and important areas studied within their labs. The topics are current and of interest to both students and the research community at large and well suited to undergraduate exploration.The broader impacts of the project include providing a quality research experience to undergraduate students, particularly women and students from underrepresented groups. The participating faculty members are committed to including under-represented minority students in their research. Thus this project has the potential to produce new computer science graduate students and faculty members and to advance discovery and understanding while promoting learning.

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。该奖项为克莱姆森大学一个新的本科生研究体验网站提供资金，该网站专注于以人为本的计算。REU网站的目标是通过沉浸在研究实验室的活动和文化中，为有才华的本科生提供真正的研究经验。该项目从当地和全国的本科院校招收学生，重点是少数民族和女性学生。每年有10名学生参加在网络社会实验室和虚拟现实与眼动追踪实验室进行的正在进行的研究。学生将在研究领域接受为期8周的强化培训，获得同行和教师导师的支持，并获得专业发展机会。该项目的智力价值在于对以人为中心的计算领域的潜在贡献。该项目拥有一支优秀的教师领导团队，他们在实验室研究的及时和重要领域取得了杰出的进展。这些主题是学生和整个研究界都感兴趣的最新主题，非常适合本科生探索。该项目的更广泛影响包括为本科生，特别是女性和来自代表性不足群体的学生提供高质量的研究经验。参与的教师致力于在他们的研究中包括代表性不足的少数民族学生。因此，这个项目有可能产生新的计算机科学研究生和教师，并在促进学习的同时推进发现和理解。
