This award funds the renewal of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Toledo. The site will support ten students/year selected from across the US in the ten week summer research program. The department provides a great diversity of cutting-edge research opportunities (both experimental and theoretical) for undergraduate students in: Astrophysics; Atomic/Molecular/Optical Physics; Biological/Health/Medical Physics; and Condensed Matter/Materials Science Physics (with specialization in thin films and photovoltaics). Opportunities exist for some of the research projects to be conducted with their faculty mentors at national facilities (NREL, DCT, NTF, or similar). The research projects are chosen such that the student projects will lead to eventual publication in the appropriate professional research journals. REU students have coauthored over 50 refereed publications (16 in the past five years alone). The REU students are also encouraged to present their research at professional meetings. The site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

该奖项资助托莱多大学本科生研究经验（REU）网站的更新。 该网站将支持10名学生/年从美国各地选择在为期十周的夏季研究计划。该部门为本科生提供了多种多样的前沿研究机会（实验和理论）：天体物理学;原子/分子/光学物理学;生物/健康/医学物理学;和凝聚态物质/材料科学物理学（专注于薄膜和光子学）。一些研究项目有机会与他们的教师导师在国家设施（NREL，DCT，NTF或类似）进行。研究项目的选择，使学生的项目将导致最终在适当的专业研究期刊上发表。REU学生合著了50多个参考出版物（仅在过去五年中就有16个）。REU的学生也被鼓励在专业会议上展示他们的研究。 该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划共同资助。
