The University of Wisconsin Madison will host an REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) site in astronomy. Students will work under close supervision of faculty and research scientists for ten weeks each summer on research projects that span a broad range of scientific areas. This program will benefit society by enhancing the education of undergraduates through research and professional development programs and by extending these opportunities to students from institutions otherwise unable to offer such experiences. Students will be actively recruited at meetings of several national organizations and through participation in the National Astronomy Consortium, a new partnership that focuses on the recruitment and continued professional development of underrepresented minority students.Research opportunities include experimental physics, instrumentation, and astrophysics. All faculty mentors are required to participate in a training seminar offered at the start of each summer. The program also includes: a lecture series in astrophysics, training in scientific presentations, web-page and Python programming, scientific ethics, graduate school preparation, field trips, and opportunities to participate in public outreach events.

威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校将主办一个天文学的REU（本科生研究经验）网站。每年夏天，学生将在教师和研究科学家的密切监督下进行为期十周的研究项目，这些项目涉及广泛的科学领域。该项目将通过研究和专业发展项目加强本科生的教育，并将这些机会扩展到那些无法提供这些经历的机构的学生，从而造福社会。学生将在几个国家组织的会议上积极招募，并通过参加国家天文学联合会，这是一个新的伙伴关系，重点是招募和持续专业发展代表性不足的少数民族学生。研究机会包括实验物理、仪器和天体物理学。所有教师导师都必须参加每年夏季开始时提供的培训研讨会。该计划还包括：天体物理学系列讲座、科学演示培训、网页和Python编程、科学伦理、研究生院准备、实地考察以及参与公共宣传活动的机会。
