This award supports a one year renewal of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at the Rice Quantum Institute at William Marsh Rice University. The award will support students for ten weeks of summer research in topics potentially including chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science, and bioengineering. Each student becomes involved in cutting-edge research by joining an individual research group and working with graduate students, postdocs and faculty supervisors. The students will form a cohesive group through joint housing, weekly interdisciplinary scientific seminars, and weekly social activities. These activities also include laboratory safety training and participation in an online course in ethical and responsible scientific conduct. In mid-session, the students will present brief computer presentations of their work to each other and the PI. In the seventh week, students will construct abstracts for their projects. During the last week students will turn in written reports, design and assemble poster presentations on their research, then present their posters alongside the other undergraduate participants in an extremely well-attended session of the Annual RQI Colloquium. There will also be a lunch meeting with faculty from various disciplines to discuss strategies for graduate school, the admissions process, and other professional/technical career options. This award is co-funded by the Division of Physics and the Division of Chemistry in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

该奖项支持威廉·马什·赖斯大学莱斯量子研究所本科生研究经验（REU）站点为期一年的更新。该奖项将支持学生进行为期10周的暑期研究，研究主题可能包括化学、物理、电气工程、化学工程、材料科学和生物工程。每个学生通过加入一个单独的研究小组，并与研究生、博士后和教师主管一起工作，参与尖端研究。学生将通过合住、每周跨学科的科学研讨会和每周的社会活动形成一个有凝聚力的群体。这些活动还包括实验室安全培训和参加有关道德和负责任的科学行为的在线课程。在课程中，学生们将向彼此和PI提交他们的工作的简短电脑报告。在第七周，学生将为他们的专题构建摘要。在最后一周，学生们将提交书面报告，设计和组装关于他们研究的海报展示，然后与其他本科生参与者一起在RQI年度研讨会上展示他们的海报。还将与来自不同学科的教师举行午餐会议，讨论研究生院的策略，招生过程和其他专业/技术职业选择。该奖项由数学和物理科学理事会物理系和化学系共同资助。
