This award supports the continuation of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Maryland College Park. The main goal of the program will be to introduce undergraduate students to the university research environment through participation in frontier research. Participating undergraduates become members of research groups and are mentored by faculty members, post-docs and graduate students. Students see first-hand and participate directly in the research process. Past research topics have included: nano-photonic devices, spatio-temporal chaos and synchronism of chaotic systems, chaotic microwave circuits, dynamics of granular media, development of singularities in fluids and solids, nonlinear dynamics in optical systems and charged particle beams, magnetic reconnection, and turbulence and nonlinear phenomena in plasmas. Seminar series will complement and reinforce the learning experience. Student projects and presentations will be judged on the final day of the program, and winners will be funded to present their work at a relevant national conference. In addition, the summer program offers seminars and trips that expose students to a wide variety of subjects and opportunities. This will likely include trips to nearby government research laboratories, and lectures on topics such as applying to graduate school.

该奖项支持在马里兰州学院公园的大学本科生（REU）计划的研究经验的延续。 该计划的主要目标是通过参与前沿研究将本科生引入大学研究环境。参与的本科生成为研究小组的成员，并由教师，博士后和研究生指导。学生看到第一手资料，并直接参与研究过程。过去的研究课题包括：纳米光子器件，时空混沌和混沌系统的同步，混沌微波电路，颗粒介质的动力学，流体和固体中奇异性的发展，光学系统和带电粒子束的非线性动力学，磁重联，等离子体中的湍流和非线性现象。系列研讨会将补充和加强学习体验。学生的项目和演示文稿将在该计划的最后一天进行评判，获奖者将获得资助，在相关的国家会议上展示他们的工作。 此外，暑期课程提供研讨会和旅行，让学生接触各种各样的主题和机会。这可能包括前往附近的政府研究实验室，以及关于申请研究生院等主题的讲座。
