Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) are critically important in maintaining a healthy pipeline of domestic graduate students in computer science and related fields. These early research experiences are often formative for their participants, giving them both an understanding of the research enterprise and the confidence required to consider a research career. In addition, REUs provide valuable skills and long-term mentoring relationships that are likely to contribute to personal satisfaction and success in graduate school. The current demand for REU opportunities exceeds the supply. The goal of this proposal is to increase the supply of REU opportunities by offering encouragement, resources, and support to research-active faculty members. This award will fund four short workshops on undergraduate research at major research conferences over the next two years. The conferences will be chosen to represent a broad cross section of areas covered by the CISE Directorate.

本科生研究经验（reu）对于保持国内计算机科学及相关领域研究生的健康管道至关重要。这些早期的研究经历对他们的参与者来说往往是形成性的，使他们既了解了研究事业，又有了考虑研究事业所需的信心。此外，reu提供有价值的技能和长期的指导关系，这可能有助于个人满意度和研究生院的成功。目前对REU的需求超过了供应。该提案的目标是通过为研究活跃的教师提供鼓励，资源和支持来增加REU机会的供应。该奖项将在未来两年内在主要研究会议上资助四个关于本科生研究的短期研讨会。选择的会议将代表CISE理事会所涵盖的广泛领域。
