This award supports the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in physics at the University of California - Los Angeles. The focus of the REU program is to convey to the student participants the full range of activities involved in the research process. The core of the program's activities consists of a 10-week research project under the supervision of a UCLA faculty member. The full gamut includes carefully defining the project in a realistic way, actually carrying out the planned research activities (a mix of data acquisition, data analysis, theoretical exploration, and final interpretations), and finally the written and oral presentation of the final results. The research projects available to undergraduate student span the various fields represented in the department, such as plasma physics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, accelerator physics, cosmic ray physics, high-energy physics, astrophysics, and biophysics. All students are required to submit a paper written in a professional format and must give a 20-minute oral and graphical presentation at the end-of-program symposium. These research experiences are supplemented by other auxiliary training such as a machine shop workshop, a physics GRE prep course, a weekly faculty seminar series, an ethics workshop, and a how-to-apply-to-graduate-school seminar.

该奖项支持加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶大学物理学的大学生（REU）网站的研究经验。 REU计划的重点是向学生参与者传达研究过程中涉及的全部活动。该计划活动的核心包括一个为期10周的研究项目，在UCLA教职员工的监督下。完整的范围包括以现实的方式仔细定义项目，实际上进行了计划的研究活动（数据获取，数据分析，理论探索和最终解释的混合），最后是最终结果的书面和口头表现。本科生可用的研究项目涵盖了该部门代表的各个领域，例如等离子体物理学，凝结物理学，核物理学，加速器物理学，宇宙射线物理学，高能物理学，天体物理学和生物物理学。所有学生都必须提交以专业格式写的论文，并且必须在截止日期登录研讨会上进行20分钟的口头和图形演示。这些研究经验还包括其他辅助培训，例如机械车间研讨会，物理学预科课程，每周一次的教师研讨会系列，道德讲习班以及如何付诸实用的研究生课程研讨会。
