This award supports the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates site in Physics at the University of Chicago. The award will support ten students per year for ten weeks of summer research. The core of the program for each student is a well-defined 10- week summer research project under supervision of a University of Chicago faculty member. Projects are distributed among: high-energy, cosmic-ray and astrophysics, general relativity, condensed-matter physics, non-linear dynamics and biophysics. A series of lectures presented by faculty provides an overview of some of the most important research topics currently pursued in these areas of physics. The interns will learn to communicate science by submitting a written report and making an oral presentation on their work. The program provides students with exposure to the breadth and unity of physics. It brings the REU students into contact with one another. This creates the peer interactions among students that increase the program's excitement and vitality, and helps prepare them for future careers in Physics and in STEM fields in general.

该奖项支持更新芝加哥大学物理学专业本科生的研究经验。该奖项每年将资助10名学生进行为期10周的暑期研究。每个学生项目的核心是在芝加哥大学一名教员的指导下，进行为期10周的暑期研究项目。项目分布在：高能、宇宙线和天体物理学、广义相对论、凝聚态物理、非线性动力学和生物物理学。由教师提供的一系列讲座提供了目前在这些物理领域中追求的一些最重要的研究主题的概述。实习生将通过提交书面报告和口头陈述他们的工作来学习交流科学。该项目让学生接触到物理学的广度和统一性。它让REU的学生们相互接触。这在学生之间创造了同伴互动，增加了项目的兴奋度和活力，并帮助他们为未来在物理和STEM领域的职业生涯做好准备。
