This award is to support the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site program at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. The objectives for the students participating in this REU site are: 1) Introduction to the excitement of physics research through active participation in research, 2) Training in the scientific method and the ethical dimensions of scientific research, 3) Development of team-building skills, 4) Scientific career awareness development, and 5) Diversity awareness development by recruitment of students from traditionally underrepresented groups. The Idaho physics faculty will design research projects that are challenging yet viable. Both theoretical and experimental projects will be made available. The students will be encouraged to work in small groups to foster teamwork skills. Weekly meetings will be held to allow the students to interact and to keep each other posted on their progress. The REU students will interact with Idaho faculty, research staff personnel, post-doctoral researchers, graduate students and undergraduates. Supplementary activities will include weekly lunch together with faculty and weekend activities that revolve around the tremendous outdoor experiences available in Idaho. The program will conclude with REU student research presentations. The site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

该奖项是为了支持在莫斯科，爱达荷州的爱达荷州大学的本科生（REU）网站程序的研究经验的更新。参加这个REU网站的学生的目标是：1）通过积极参与研究介绍物理学研究的兴奋，2）科学方法和科学研究的道德维度的培训，3）团队建设技能的发展，4）科学职业意识的发展，以及5）通过从传统上代表性不足的群体中招募学生来发展多样性意识。爱达荷州物理系将设计具有挑战性但可行的研究项目。将提供理论和实验项目。学生将被鼓励在小组工作，以培养团队合作技能。每周会议将举行，让学生互动，并保持对他们的进步彼此张贴。REU学生将与爱达荷州的教师，研究人员，博士后研究人员，研究生和本科生互动。补充活动将包括每周午餐与教师和周末活动，围绕在爱达荷州提供巨大的户外体验。该计划将与REU学生的研究报告结束。 该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划共同资助。
