This award supports the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in physics at the University of California - Los Angeles. The focus of the REU program is to convey to the student participants the full range of activities involved in the research process. The core of the program's activities consists of a 10-week research project under the supervision of a UCLA faculty member. The full gamut includes carefully defining the project in a realistic way, actually carrying out the planned research activities (a mix of data acquisition, data analysis, theoretical exploration, and final interpretations), and finally the written and oral presentation of the final results. The projects span the various fields represented in the department, such as plasma physics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, accelerator physics, cosmic ray physics, high-energy physics, astrophysics, and biophysics. All students are required to submit a paper written in a professional format and must give a 20-minute oral and graphical presentation at the end-of-program symposium. These research experiences are supplemented by other auxiliary training such as a machine shop workshop, a physics GRE prep course, a weekly faculty seminar series, an ethics workshop, and a how-to-apply-to-graduate-school seminar. Social activities supplement the academic activities in an effort to foster a sense of community among the group and within the department.

该奖项支持加州大学洛杉矶分校的物理学本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站。 REU 项目的重点是向学生参与者传达研究过程中涉及的全方位活动。该项目的核心活动包括在加州大学洛杉矶分校教职人员的监督下进行为期 10 周的研究项目。整个范围包括以现实的方式仔细定义项目，实际开展计划的研究活动（数据采集、数据分析、理论探索和最终解释的结合），以及最终结果的书面和口头陈述。这些项目涵盖该系的各个领域，如等离子体物理学、凝聚态物理学、核物理学、加速器物理学、宇宙射线物理学、高能物理学、天体物理学和生物物理学。所有学生都必须提交一份以专业格式撰写的论文，并且必须在课程结束的研讨会上进行 20 分钟的口头和图形演示。这些研究经验还得到其他辅助培训的补充，例如机械车间研讨会、物理 GRE 预备课程、每周一次的教师研讨会系列、伦理研讨会以及如何申请研究生院研讨会。社交活动是学术活动的补充，旨在培养团队之间和部门内部的社区意识。
