This funding renews a CISE Research Experience for Undergraduates site focused on computational science at the University of Houston. Each year, ten students are to be recruited from institutions that offer limited research opportunities. The program emphasizes steering non-traditional students into research, reinforcing their interest in computer science, and providing professional development opportunities for the students. Research in these areas of national importance is overseen by an interdisciplinary team of faculty mentors and is reinforced through site visits to cutting-edge research laboratories in the local area. The intellectual merit of this project lies in strong research basis and the expertise of the faculty. The projects are in major current research areas that are of interest to the community at large and that have clear practical applications. The broader impacts of the project include providing a quality research experience to undergraduate students, particularly students from underrepresented groups and from institutions with limited research environments. Thus this project has the potential to produce new computer science graduate students and faculty members and to advance discovery and understanding while promoting learning.

这笔资金更新了休斯敦大学CISE本科生研究经验网站，重点是计算科学。每年从提供有限研究机会的机构中招收10名学生。该计划强调引导非传统学生进行研究，增强他们对计算机科学的兴趣，并为学生提供专业发展机会。这些具有国家重要性的领域的研究由教师导师组成的跨学科团队进行监督，并通过对当地尖端研究实验室的实地考察得到加强。这个项目的智力价值在于强大的研究基础和教师的专业知识。这些项目是目前主要的研究领域，是整个社区感兴趣的，并且具有明确的实际应用。该项目的更广泛影响包括为本科生提供高质量的研究经验，特别是来自代表性不足的群体和研究环境有限的机构的学生。因此，这个项目有可能产生新的计算机科学研究生和教师，并在促进学习的同时推进发现和理解。
