This award supports the Research Experiences for Undergraduates site at the University of Arkansas. The program offers ten undergraduate students the opportunity to engage in publishable-quality research projects with scientists working at the forefront of astronomy, planetary science, and space science. Students are supported at the Arkansas Center for Space and Planetary Science for 10 weeks during the summer. Mentors are selected from the scientific staff of the center, progress within the program is monitored through weekly meetings, a mid-term 10 minute oral presentation, and a final poster presentation with a two-page abstract. Program participants will also take part in five field trip to nearby research facilities to illustrate research in a variety of environments. Students are recruited from a variety of locations with a strong emphasis on the recruitment of students from HBCU, Tribal schools, and school with limited research opportunities.

该奖项支持阿肯色大学大学生的研究经验。该计划为十个本科生提供了机会，可以与科学家在天文学，行星科学和太空科学的前沿工作。夏季，阿肯色州太空与行星科学中心的支持时间为10周。导师是从中心科学人员中选出的，该计划中的进度通过每周的会议，10分钟的口头演讲以及最终的海报演示，并提供两页的摘要。计划参与者还将参加附近研究设施的五次实地考察，以说明各种环境中的研究。从各个地点招募学生，他们非常重视来自HBCU，Tribal Schools和学校的学生的招募，并且研究机会有限。
