This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The Physics & Aerospace Catalyst Experiences in Research (PACER) project directed in response to science and engineering (S&E) workforce assessments by the National Science Board, and other U.S. institutions, that attracting and retaining students into S&E careers is of paramount importance if the U.S. is to maintain its technology lead. Further, to support a high technology economic future, today's students also need research experiences that emphasize practical skills, techniques and methodologies that are directly applicable to the development of future science and engineering projects and products. Finally, the greatest opportunity to expand the nation's pool of technical talent will likely come from efforts focused on women and minorities. PACER is a project that brings established techniques and materials to underserved students, and their mentors, in order to foster continued development of research experience programs at minority serving institutions. PACER addresses this issues by 1) providing an intensive 9-week summer research experience program for teams (faculty member plus 3 students) from minority institutions and 2) continuing to partner with each institution for multiple academic years as they establish a research experience program for their local students. In this context, the specific objectives for PACER include: 1) Attract students from the ranks of minorities and women to science and engineering programs, 2) Provide students with a research experience that builds skills, techniques and methodologies applicable throughout their science career, 3) Establish a core of expertise at multiple minority institutions around which a local sustainable student research experience program can develop, and 4) Nurture and mentor these institutions as they implement their student research experience program.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。 国家科学委员会和其他美国机构针对科学与工程（S＆E）的劳动力评估的研究（PACER）项目（PACER）项目的物理与航空航天催化剂经验，如果美国要维持其技术领导者，将学生吸引和留在S＆E职业的劳动力评估至关重要。此外，为了支持高科技的经济未来，当今的学生还需要研究经验，这些研究经验强调直接适用于未来科学和工程项目和产品的实用技能，技术和方法。最后，扩大美国技术人才库的最大机会可能来自于关注妇女和少数民族的努力。 Pacer是一个项目，将建立的技术和材料带给服务不足的学生及其导师，以促进在少数派服务机构的研究经验计划的持续发展。 PACER通过1）从少数族裔机构（教师加3名学生）提供一个密集的为期9周的夏季研究经验计划，并从少数族裔机构提供一个密集的夏季研究经验计划，以及2）继续与每个机构合作多个学年，因为他们为本地学生建立了研究经验计划。在这种情况下，PACER的具体目标包括：1）吸引少数群体和妇女等级的学生进入科学和工程计划，2）为学生提供研究经验，以建立适用于整个科学职业的技能，技术和方法论，3）在多个少数族裔机构中建立专业知识的核心，并在此围绕当地可持续的学生研究经验，以及他们的培训，以及他们在这些机构方面的发展和培养这些机构，以实施这些机构，以实施这些机构，以实施这些机构，以实施这些学生的培训。
