New CISE REU PI Resources

该奖项资助了爱荷华州立大学计算机与信息科学与工程理事会（CISE）的一个新的特别项目。该项目为在其所在大学组织CISE本科生研究体验（REU）站点的新研究者社区提供资源和服务。爱荷华州立大学的团队将与其他经验丰富的CISE REU站点负责人合作，创建REU PI指南，这是一套基于网络的资源，以帮助新的CISE REU站点研究人员准备和运行有效和高效的REU站点。CISE REU项目通常由大学主办，由8-10名来自全国各地的本科生组成，在最先进的实验室与教师团队进行暑期研究。REU网站通常针对那些在自己的学校没有这样的研究机会的学生。该项目将提供资源，使教师能够组织和运行高质量的暑期研究体验，这将对本科生完成学位、追求研究生院的机会或进入计算机行业产生长期的好处。该小组将开展一系列五项活动来实现他们的愿景：评估需求，收集和改进资源，制作视频概述，创建和改进REU PI指南网站，并评估其影响。该项目由一个在管理CISE REU站点以及与CISE REU站点PI社区进行广泛互动方面具有丰富经验的团队领导。该团队还拥有充分实现REU PI指南愿景所需的设计专业知识和评估专业知识。该团队将考虑所有利益相关者，包括教师网站负责人，教师项目导师，REU项目协调员，研究生导师和REU学生，并提供资源以满足他们的所有需求。该资源应提高本科生研究经验的质量，这些经验是培养本科生成为未来所需的计算机专业人员的宝贵组成部分。

This award funds a new Directorate of Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE) special project at Iowa State University. The project provides resources and services to the community of new investigators organizing CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Sites at their universities. The team at Iowa State will work with other experienced CISE REU Site leaders to create the REU PI Guide, a set of web-based resources to help new CISE REU Site researchers prepare and run and effective and efficient REU Sites. CISE REU Sites typically involve universities hosting a cohort of 8-10 undergraduate students from around the country for summer research in state-of-the art labs with faculty teams. REU Sites often target students who do not have such research opportunities available to them at their home institutions. This project will provide resources so that faculty can organize and run quality summer research experiences that will be of long-lasting benefit to undergraduates as they complete their degrees, pursue graduate school opportunities, or enter the computing workforce.The team will undertake a series of five activities to implement their vision: assess needs, collect and refine resources, create video overviews, create and refine the REU PI Guide website, and evaluate the impact. The project is led by a team that has significant experience in conducting a CISE REU Site as well as extensive interactions with the CISE REU Site PI community. The team also has the design expertise and evaluation expertise needed to fully implement the REU PI Guide vision. The team will consider all stakeholders including the faculty site leaders, the faculty project mentors, REU program coordinators, graduate student mentors, and the REU students and provide resources to meet all of their needs. The resource should enhance the quality of undergraduate research experiences which are valuable components in the of preparation of undergraduates to become the computing professionals needed in the future.
