This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Howard University provides six undergraduate students each summer the opportunity to participate in research on topics in atmospheric physics, computational and experimental nanophysics and condensed matter, mathematical physics and supersymmetry, and experimental laser spectroscopy. In addition to participating in research with an experienced mentor, the REU students will engage in weekly activities to ensure not only that their research stays on track but that they have an engaging collegial and scholarly experience. By the end of the program, every student will have prepared a poster, made an oral presentation of the research, and written a final report.This REU site will have a number of broader impacts with its focus on providing research opportunities to undergraduates to help prepare them for future science, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers. The site has a strong plan to recruit undergraduate students from groups underrepresented in physics and from community colleges. The project plans to be informed by an on-going evaluation, which examines clear goals.

霍华德大学的本科生研究经验（REU）网站每年夏天为六名本科生提供机会，参与大气物理，计算和实验纳米物理学和凝聚态，数学物理和超对称性以及实验激光光谱学等主题的研究。除了与经验丰富的导师一起参与研究外，REU学生还将参加每周的活动，以确保他们的研究不仅保持在正轨上，而且他们拥有引人入胜的大学和学术经验。在课程结束时，每个学生都将准备一张海报，对研究进行口头陈述，并撰写最终报告。这个REU网站将产生广泛的影响，重点是为本科生提供研究机会，帮助他们为未来的科学，技术，工程和数学职业做好准备。该网站有一个强有力的计划，从物理学代表性不足的群体和社区大学招收本科生。该项目计划通过正在进行的评估了解情况，评估将审查明确的目标。
