REU Site: Applying the Tools of Physics--From the Cosmos to the Living Cell"

伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的本科生研究经验（REU）网站每年夏天为12名本科生提供参与生物物理、高能物理、核物理、声学物理、天体物理学和凝聚态物理等主题研究的机会。除了与经验丰富的导师团队一起参与研究外，REU学生还将获得技术交流，研究合作和网络以及负责任的研究行为的知识和实践。他们在申请研究生院和研究生研究奖学金方面得到职业指导和建议。到课程结束时，每个学生都将在期中报告、期末报告和研究报告中展示工作成果。这个REU网站将有许多更广泛的影响，其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，从物理学中代表性不足的群体和非研究机构中招收本科生。该项目以正在进行的评估为依据，并有计划传播成功的本科生研究实践。

The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign provides twelve undergraduate students each summer the opportunity to participate in research on topics in biological physics, high-energy physics, nuclear physics, acoustical physics, astrophysics and condensed matter physics. In addition to participating in research with an experienced team of mentors, the REU students will gain knowledge of and practice technical communications, research collaboration and networking, and responsible conduct of research. They are given career guidance and advice on applying for graduate school and graduate research fellowships. By the end of the program, every student will have presented the results of the work in a mid-term talk, a final talk, and a research paper.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 non-research institutions. The project is informed by an on-going evaluation and there is a plan to disseminate successful undergraduate research practices.
