This award is to support a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates site at Texas A&M University-Commerce. The site will recruit primarily from 2 year community colleges across the nation. This model addresses a national need, especially in rural areas, to support community college STEM majors as they make transitions to universities to complete their bachelor's degree in physical sciences. During ten weeks each summer, ten REU students will engage in active research with TAMU-C research teams led by faculty members and may include research scientists, postdocs, graduate and senior undergraduate students resulting in publications in professional journals/meetings in physics and astronomy. Projects will be available in five areas: Astronomy and Astrophysics, Nuclear and Particle Physics, Material Sciences, Computational and Mathematical Physics, and Engineering and Applied Physics. This award is co-funded by the Division of Physics and the Division of Astronomical Sciences.

这一奖项是为了支持德克萨斯农工大学为本科生开设的一个新的研究体验网站-商业。该网站将主要从全国各地的两年制社区大学招聘人才。这一模式解决了国家需求，特别是在农村地区，支持社区大学STEM专业的学生过渡到大学完成物理学学士学位。在每年夏天的十周时间里，十名REU学生将与TAMU-C研究团队一起进行积极的研究，研究团队由教职员工领导，可能包括研究科学家、博士后、研究生和大四的本科生，他们将在物理学和天文学的专业期刊/会议上发表论文。将提供五个领域的项目：天文学和天体物理、核物理和粒子物理、材料科学、计算和数学物理以及工程和应用物理。该奖项由物理系和天文科学系共同资助。
