This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Oklahoma Norman provides eight undergraduate students each summer the opportunity to participate in research on topics in astrophysics, atomic, molecular and optical physics, condensed matter physics and high energy physics. In addition to participating in research with an experienced mentor, the REU students will engage in activities such as seminars and lectures. Students will give two oral presentations on the research, one after two weeks and a final twenty-minute talk.This project includes a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) site, where each summer two high school teachers from nearby school districts participate in a research project. The teachers will develop and build small scale experiments that can be transported or replicated in the high school classroom.This REU/RET site will have a number of broader impacts. The site has a strong plan to recruit undergraduate students from institutions offering little or no research opportunities and from groups underrepresented in physics. The site has a strong evaluation plan which is designed to give feedback and to improve the project on an on-going basis.

这个研究经验的本科生（REU）网站在俄克拉荷马州诺曼大学提供八个本科生每年夏天的机会，参与研究的主题在天体物理学，原子，分子和光学物理学，凝聚态物理学和高能物理学。除了与经验丰富的导师一起参与研究外，REU学生还将参加研讨会和讲座等活动。学生将做两次口头报告，一次在两周后，最后一次是20分钟的演讲。这个项目包括一个教师研究经验（RET）网站，每年夏天，两名来自附近学区的高中教师参加一个研究项目。教师将开发和建立小规模的实验，可以在高中课堂上传输或复制。这个REU/RET网站将有一些更广泛的影响。该网站有一个强有力的计划，从提供很少或根本没有研究机会的机构和物理学代表性不足的群体中招募本科生。该网站有一个强大的评估计划，旨在提供反馈并持续改进项目。
