This award supports an REU program at Texas Christian University (TCU), which would involve 6-7 undergraduate students in 10 weeks of workshops and research in Physics or Astrophysics. The main goal of the program is to provide a memorable and potentially career-defining experience for student participants A carefully mentored research program, thoughtfully-selected field trips, weekly discussions with other students and faculty, and workshops on ethics in science, effective presentation and planning for graduate school, culminating in a final oral research presentation, provide opportunities for students to consider a broad range of career possibilities in physics and engineering fields. The expectation is that participants will give post-summer presentations of research at a professional science conference. TCU has a reputation for providing a nurturing learning environment with a low student-to-faculty ratio. This award is supported by the Physics Division and the Division of Social and Economic Sciences.

该奖项支持德克萨斯基督教大学（TCU）的REU项目，该项目将涉及6-7名本科生，为期10周的物理学或天体物理学研讨会和研究。一个精心指导的研究项目，精心挑选的实地考察，每周与其他学生和教师的讨论，科学伦理研讨会，有效的演讲和研究生院的规划，最终以口头研究报告告终。提供机会，让学生考虑在物理和工程领域的广泛的职业可能性。预计参与者将在一个专业科学会议上发表夏季后的研究报告。TCU以提供良好的学习环境而闻名，学生与教师的比例很低。该奖项由物理学部和社会经济学部支持。
