REU Site: Astronomy in Hawai`i

夏威夷大学的天文学研究所（IfA）将举办一个夏季REU（本科生研究经验）天文学网站。 IfA拥有大约50名教职员工和Maunakea和Haleakala上的所有望远镜，为本科生提供了广泛的机会。这个REU网站将提供研究经验和专业发展培训的5-6名学生在奥坎波和一个队列的3-4名学生在毛伊岛或大岛每年;沿着的研究培训，该计划将有利于社会之间的科学合作和互动夏威夷本地和非夏威夷学生。分布在多个岛屿的学生提供了最好的研究机会的多样性：（1）IfA-Hilo为Maunakea上的光学/红外望远镜执行最先进的仪器项目;（2）IfA-Maui有一个强有力的太阳焦点，包括为丹尼尔K.（3）IfA-Manoa拥有最大的工作人员和研究范围，有40多名研究人员，研究领域从行星科学到宇宙学。除了一个指导研究项目，专业发展活动包括一个密集的短期课程每周专业发展的研究技能在夏季开始（在奥陶纪），每周一次的专业发展午餐系列，并参观了天文台和附近的文化地标在Maunakea（大岛）或哈雷阿卡拉（毛伊岛）。 IfA的理想定位是通过REU计划吸引夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民进入他们的第一次研究经验。

The Institute for Astronomy (IfA) at the University of Hawaii will host a summer REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) site in astronomy. With about 50 faculty members and a share of all the telescopes on Maunakea and Haleakala, the IfA offers undergraduate students a wide range of opportunities. This REU site will provide research experience and professional development training for 5-6 students on O'ahu and a cohort of 3-4 students on either Maui or the Big Island each year; along with the research training, the program will benefit society by enabling scientific collaboration and interaction between native Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian students.Distributing students across multiple islands provides the best diversity of research opportunities: (1) IfA-Hilo carries out state-of-the-art instrumentation projects for the optical/infrared telescopes on Maunakea; (2) IfA Maui has a strong solar focus, including developing two first-light instruments for the Daniel K. Inouye Advanced Solar Telescope on Haleakala; and (3) IfA-Manoa has the largest staff and research breadth, with over 40 research faculty in areas ranging from planetary science to cosmology. In addition to a mentored research project, the professional development activities include an intensive short-course a weekly professional development in research skills at the start of the summer (on O'ahu), a weekly professional development lunch series, and visits to the observatories and nearby cultural landmarks on Maunakea (Big Island) or Haleakala (Maui). IfA is ideally positioned to attract Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders into their first research experience through the REU program.
