The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, along with its partner organizations, the University of South Dakota and South Dakota State University, will offer an innovative Research Experiences for Undergraduate (REU) Site focused on interdisciplinary research dedicated to Security Printing and Anti-Counterfeiting Technology (SPACT), for a diverse group of undergraduate students, targeting Tribal Colleges and other institutions with limited STEM research opportunities. The SPACT research theme is of great societal importance. Counterfeiting is a growing issue in the U.S., posing serious economic, safety and national security concerns and impacting a wide variety of industries (e.g. pharmaceutics, semiconductors). In this REU Site students will conduct research on transformative anti-counterfeiting technology. SPACT is a field which demands development in four key areas: advanced materials, advanced manufacturing/patterning technologies, detection and encryption technology, and software and database infrastructure. The SPACT REU will implement a unique undergraduate research program to curb the economic losses and health and safety risks associated with counterfeiting. The key objectives of this 10-week summer REU Site are to: 1) conduct transformative research in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment, and 2) provide STEM professional development opportunities to a diverse group of 10 undergraduate students, each year for three years. A team of faculty mentors from the three partner institutions, all with demonstrated experience in mentoring undergraduate researchers, will implement a program in SPACT by applying research methods from various fields of science and engineering. Participants will develop collaborative research skills via carefully designed research projects and training seminars. Students will participate in a highly integrated professional development and technical communications program. The faculty, alongside industry leaders, will deliver training seminars to broaden the student's existing academic training in the necessary SPACT areas. The long-term goal of this REU Site is to provide a diverse group of STEM researchers with the training and skills needed to pursue graduate studies at the highest levels and to advance the developing field of SPACT.

矿业与技术的南达科他州学校，沿着其合作伙伴组织，南达科他州和南达科他州州立大学的大学，将提供一个创新的研究经验本科（REU）网站专注于跨学科研究致力于安全印刷和防伪技术（SPACT），为本科生的多元化群体，针对部落学院和其他机构与有限的STEM研究机会。SPACT研究主题具有重大的社会意义。在美国，伪造是一个日益严重的问题，造成严重的经济、安全和国家安全问题，并影响各种行业（如制药、半导体）。在这个REU网站的学生将进行变革防伪技术的研究。SPACT是一个需要在四个关键领域发展的领域：先进材料、先进制造/图案化技术、检测和加密技术以及软件和数据库基础设施。SPACT REU将实施一项独特的本科研究计划，以遏制与假冒有关的经济损失和健康与安全风险。 这个为期10周的夏季REU网站的主要目标是：1）在协作，跨学科的环境中进行变革性研究，2）为10名本科生的多元化群体提供STEM专业发展机会，每年三年。来自三个合作机构的教师导师团队，都具有指导本科研究人员的经验，将通过应用科学和工程各个领域的研究方法来实施SPACT计划。参与者将通过精心设计的研究项目和培训研讨会发展合作研究技能。学生将参加一个高度整合的专业发展和技术交流计划。该学院将与行业领导者一起举办培训研讨会，以扩大学生在必要的SPACT领域的现有学术培训。该REU站点的长期目标是为多元化的STEM研究人员群体提供攻读最高水平研究生课程并推进SPACT发展领域所需的培训和技能。
