This award supports opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in ongoing research projects in experimental physics as structured in a summer REU program at the University of Arizona. Students may choose from a wide variety of forefront physics activities, under the direction of senior faculty members from the Department of Physics at the University of Arizona, or also from in research groups located in several other university academic units including Astronomy, Chemistry, Optical Sciences, Lunar and Planetary Studies, and Atmospheric Sciences. The primary source of participants is students who have completed the equivalent of the first or second year curriculum in science or engineering at Pima Community College, in preparation for transfer to a 4-year degree program (although all undergraduate students are eligible to apply). Graduate Teaching Assistants from the physics department serve as mentors for the participants. Special orientation and skills activities are individually tailored to enable the students to make significant contributions to the research projects.

该奖项支持本科生参与亚利桑那大学暑期REU项目中正在进行的实验物理研究项目。学生可以在亚利桑那大学物理系资深教员的指导下，从各种各样的前沿物理活动中进行选择，也可以从位于其他几个大学学术单元的研究小组中进行选择，这些研究小组包括天文学、化学、光学、月球和行星研究以及大气科学。参与者的主要来源是那些在皮马社区学院完成了相当于一年级或二年级理工科课程的学生，为转到四年制学位课程做准备(尽管所有本科生都有资格申请)。物理系的研究生助教担任学员的导师。特别指导和技能活动是为学生量身定做的，以使他们能够对研究项目做出重大贡献。
