This proposal will fund the REU program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison through the summer of 2014 inclusive. A minimum of nine students will take part in the ten week program each summer. The research topics available are extensive and varied; they include observational programs in stellar, interstellar, and extragalactic projects as well as theoretical work in galactic dynamics, neutrino astrophysics, and the dynamics of the ISM. After the summer program is concluded several of the most promising students will be invited to present their research at the winter meeting of the American Astronomical Society. During the program the students take part in a weekly seminar series, organized field trips, and take part in activities meant to directly prepare them for graduate schoolThe very nature of an REU site results in a broader impact, in terms of educational activities. One somewhat unique aspect of this program is that the students are required to take a course in scientific ethics. The students are also encouraged to take part in public outreach activities at UW-Madison. The PIs of this award note that special consideration will be made to include women and underrepresented groups in the program.

该提案将资助威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的REU计划，直到2014年夏天。 每年夏天至少有9名学生参加为期10周的课程。研究课题广泛而多样，包括恒星、星际和河外项目的观测计划，以及银河系动力学、中微子天体物理学和ISM动力学的理论工作。在夏季计划结束后，几个最有前途的学生将被邀请在美国天文学会的冬季会议上介绍他们的研究。在该计划期间，学生参加每周一次的研讨会系列，有组织的实地考察，并参加旨在直接为研究生院做准备的活动。该计划的一个独特之处是，学生必须参加科学道德课程。还鼓励学生参加在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的公共宣传活动。该奖项的PI指出，将特别考虑将妇女和代表性不足的群体纳入该计划。
