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渠道至关重要。这些早期的研究经验对他们的参与者来说往往是形成的，让他们对研究企业有了了解，并对考虑研究事业所需的信心。此外，REUS提供宝贵的技能和长期的指导关系，这可能有助于个人在研究生院的满足感和成功。目前对REU机会的需求超过了供应。这项提议的目标是通过向积极从事研究的教职员工提供鼓励、资源和支持来增加REU机会的供应。这一奖项将资助未来两年在主要研究会议上举行的四个关于本科生研究的短期研讨会。这些会议将被选为代表广交会理事会所涵盖的广泛领域的会议。
