This award supports a new REU site at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Louisiana State University. The intended impact of this program is to foster interest in careers in science, by introducing students to the nature of research-oriented careers in physics and astronomy and by developing research-related skills and knowledge. REU students will be recruited nationally; students can be of any academic year and need not have a declared major, but must have completed the general physics sequence at their school. For the 10-week program, the participants will be matched with faculty mentors based on student interests. Students will join their mentors in active research projects in astronomy, astrophysics, and physics. Weekly seminars and workshops introduce the students to faculty research, to skills development, to common research resources, and to professional development topics such as ethics and patents/intellectual property. Students will participate in field trips and other activities, some of which will be coordinated with concurrent LSU summer science programs in chemistry, biomedical science and other areas. Students from all programs will be lodged in proximity at on-campus apartment-style housing, to foster group interactions and a sense of community. This award is funded by the Physics Division and the Division of Astronomical Sciences at the National Science Foundation.

该奖项支持路易斯安那州立大学物理学和天文学系的一个新的REU网站。 该计划的预期影响是通过向学生介绍物理学和天文学研究型职业的性质，并通过发展与研究相关的技能和知识，培养学生对科学职业的兴趣。REU学生将在全国范围内招募;学生可以是任何学年的学生，不需要申报专业，但必须在他们的学校完成普通物理序列。在为期10周的课程中，参与者将根据学生的兴趣与教师导师进行匹配。学生将加入他们的导师在天文学，天体物理学和物理学的积极研究项目。 每周的研讨会和讲习班向学生介绍教师的研究，技能发展，共同的研究资源，以及道德和专利/知识产权等专业发展主题。学生将参加实地考察和其他活动，其中一些将与化学，生物医学科学和其他领域的路易斯安那州立大学暑期科学课程协调。来自所有课程的学生将被安置在校园公寓式住房附近，以促进团体互动和社区意识。 该奖项由美国国家科学基金会物理部和天文科学部资助。
