Physics REU Site Director Workshop

该奖项支持为期两天的研讨会为NSF研究经验的本科生（REU）物理网站主任都讨论在当前REU程序的有效做法，以及了解更多关于有效的做法在节目外的NSF-REU物理网站。特别是，与会者将了解目前的结果，在评估本科研究经验和方案，增加了本科研究计划的多样性，从其他学科，并讨论如何适应/采用这些想法物理REU网站。与会者将讨论他们在个人计划中面临的当前挑战和机遇，以及物理REU网站计划作为一个整体所面临的挑战，并制定解决这些问题的计划。该计划不仅通过促进研究导师及其本科生在REU网站上进行的科学进步，而且通过培训下一代科学研究人员来服务于国家利益。 此外，作为该项目的一部分开发的报告将成为所有物理学本科研究项目（不仅仅是NSF REU网站）可以利用的资源，以改善其本科研究项目。

This award supports a two-day workshop for NSF-Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Physics Site directors both to discuss effective practices in the current REU programs as well as to learn more about effective practices in programs outside of the NSF-REU Physics Sites. In particular, the participants will learn about current results in assessment of undergraduate research experiences and programs that have increased the diversity in undergraduate research programs from other disciplines and discuss how to adapt/adopt these ideas for Physics REU sites. Participants will discuss the current challenges and opportunities they face in their individual programs as well as challenges faced by the Physics REU-Site program as a whole and devise a plan for addressing these issues. The program serves the national interests by not only promoting the advancement of science carried out at the REU Sites by research mentors and their undergraduate proteges, but by training the next generation of science researchers. In addition, the report developed as a part of this project will be a resource that all Physics undergraduate research programs (not just NSF REU sites) can utilize to improve their undergraduate research programs.
