This award supports the renewal of the REU site in Physics & Astrophysics at the University of Rochester. This site supports twelve undergraduate students and two high school teachers each summer for ten weeks per summer in research projects on a variety of topics including astrophysics, particle and nuclear physics, quantum optics, condensed matter, biological, plasma, geo- and environmental physics, and physics education. Each student works with a faculty adviser on a specific project within the context of the overall research focus of the group. The program may include mini-courses in machining and electronics and a GRE preparation course offered in conjunction with other summer undergraduate programs. REU students attend weekly presentations by University faculty, tours of University research facilities, social outings and may also take part in the department?s summer outreach activities. The program concludes with a student symposium, at which each student speaks on his/her research project; students submit written abstracts and reports of their research experiences. The RET program sponsors teachers selected from area high schools. RET activities engage teachers in projects such as physical chemistry, cosmic ray and high energy particle detection, and geo- and astrophysics data analysis using web-based databases. This award is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the Physics and Astronomical Sciences Divisions in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

该奖项支持在物理天体物理学在罗切斯特大学的REU网站的更新。 该网站每年夏天为12名本科生和2名高中教师提供为期10周的支持，开展各种主题的研究项目，包括天体物理学、粒子和核物理学、量子光学、凝聚态物质、生物、等离子体、地球和环境物理学以及物理教育。 每个学生都与一名教师顾问合作，在小组整体研究重点的背景下进行特定项目。该计划可能包括机械加工和电子方面的迷你课程，以及与其他暑期本科课程一起提供的GRE准备课程。REU学生每周参加大学教师的演讲，大学研究设施的图尔斯之旅，社交郊游，也可能参加部门？的暑期外展活动。该计划以学生研讨会结束，每个学生都在他/她的研究项目上发言;学生提交书面摘要和他们的研究经验报告。 RET计划赞助从地区高中选出的教师。可再生能源技术活动使教师参与物理化学、宇宙射线和高能粒子探测以及利用网络数据库进行地球和天体物理学数据分析等项目。 该奖项由国防部与数学和物理科学局的物理和天文科学部门共同资助。
