This award supports the renewal of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) and the Research Experience for Teachers (RET) site at the University of Notre Dame. Projects are available in the areas of Astronomy, Astrophysics, Biophysics, Cosmology, Condensed Matter Physics, High-Energy Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics, and Physics Education Research. The goal of the site is to provide realistic research experiences to undergraduate students and high school physics teachers. The participants will work with a faculty mentor on a specific research project and will be exposed to physics research in other areas via weekly seminars, workshops, interactions with other participants, and field trips to nearby national laboratories. They will prepare a research report at the end of the program and make oral presentations at the REU-RET Symposium. They will also maintain a research logbook and will have opportunity to attend courses in computer programming, machine shop, and radiation safety. A workshop will be held on Applying to Graduate Schools and Preparing for GRE's. A series of workshops will also be held as part of the Ethics component. This award is funded by the Division of Physics and co-funded by the Science, Technology, and Society Program.

该奖项支持圣母大学本科生研究经验（REU）和教师研究经验（RET）网站的更新。 项目涉及天文学、天体物理学、生物物理学、宇宙学、凝聚态物理学、高能粒子物理学、核物理学和物理教育研究等领域。该网站的目标是为本科生和高中物理教师提供现实的研究经验。参与者将与一位教师导师一起研究一个特定的研究项目，并将通过每周的研讨会，研讨会，与其他参与者的互动以及到附近国家实验室的实地考察来接触其他领域的物理研究。他们将在课程结束时准备一份研究报告，并在REU-RET研讨会上做口头报告。他们还将保持一个研究日志，并将有机会参加计算机编程，机械车间和辐射安全课程。将举办一个关于申请研究生院和准备GRE的研讨会。作为道德操守部分的一部分，还将举办一系列讲习班。 该奖项由物理学部资助，并由科学，技术和社会计划共同资助。
