A Request for Planning Funds for a Research and Study Abroad Facility in Geneva, Switzerland in Affiliation with the European Laboratory for Particle Physics

该奖项支持一项制定“海外研究和学习计划”的计划项目，使美国本科生能够利用欧洲核子研究组织（CERN）、世界卫生组织（World Health Organization）以及总部设在瑞士日内瓦的联合国（United Nations）的各种业务机构的世界领先研究设施。预计将在大日内瓦社区建立一个容纳大约60名美国学生的设施，为他们提供适当的监督和安全，为他们在这些设施中参与尖端数据收集和分析工作以及他们在国外研究和实地学习期间所修的任何经批准的课程返回美国研究所提供课程学分。根据CERN REU项目的经验，预计学生们将以实际和有意义的方式为CERN正在进行的研究项目做出贡献，进而为设在日内瓦的世界卫生组织和其他机构做出贡献。

This award supports a planning project to develop a "Research and Study Abroad Program" to avail U.S. undergraduate students access to the world-leading research facilities at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the World Health Organization and the various operations of the United Nations based in Geneva, Switzerland. A facility is envisioned to house approximately sixty American students in the greater Geneva community, to provide them with proper supervision and security, to provide a structure for repatriating to their U.S. institutes course credit for their participation in cutting-edge data collection and analysis efforts at these facilities, and for any approved courses they take during their research and field study abroad period. It is expected, based on the experience of the CERN REU program, that the students will contribute in real and meaningful ways to the research program underway at CERN, and by extension, to the World Health Organization and other institutions based in Geneva.
