This award supports the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) and Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) site in physics and astronomy at the University of Oklahoma. Eight undergraduate students and two high school teachers per year will be involved in summer research projects in astrophysics, atomic and molecular physics, condensed matter physics, or high energy physics. Teachers will participate in research and will also develop and build small-scale experiments, demonstrations, and curriculum that can be transported or replicated in the classroom. The goal of the site is to bridge the gap from student (or teacher) to scientist through substantive, consequential research mentored daily by a faculty member. The program will help to improve STEM education, develop a better infrastructure for research and education, and develop the STEM workforce that is needed for the Nation.Students and teachers will be exposed to a broad range of science, from particle physics to cosmology, and from abstract theoretical to concrete applied physics. In addition, a key component of the program consists of a semiweekly seminar series covering the differences between physics research and physics classes, career options for physicists both in academics and industry, insight into life in physics research, career development, and insight on applying and preparing for graduate school. The students themselves presenting their own work will give the final seminars. Finally, the site will offer a series of voluntary courses and seminars that expose the students to research tools. Teachers will participate in the seminar series, in research, and in the development of classroom-ready experiments.This award is supported by a combination of the Division of Physics, the Division of Astronomical Sciences, and the Division of Materials Research within the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

该奖项支持俄克拉何马大学物理学和天文学本科生研究经验（REU）和教师研究经验（RET）站点的更新。每年将有八名本科生和两名高中教师参与天体物理、原子与分子物理、凝聚态物理或高能物理的暑期研究项目。教师将参与研究，还将开发和建立小规模的实验、示范和课程，这些可以在课堂上传播或复制。该网站的目标是通过一名教师每天指导的实质性、有意义的研究，弥合学生（或教师）与科学家之间的差距。该计划将有助于改善STEM教育，为研究和教育开发更好的基础设施，并培养国家所需的STEM劳动力。学生和教师将接触到广泛的科学，从粒子物理学到宇宙学，从抽象理论到具体应用物理学。此外，该计划的一个关键组成部分包括半周的研讨会系列，涵盖物理研究和物理课程之间的差异，物理学家在学术界和工业界的职业选择，对物理研究生活的见解，职业发展，以及申请和准备研究生院的见解。学生们将在最后的研讨会上展示他们自己的作品。最后，该网站将提供一系列自愿课程和研讨会，让学生接触研究工具。教师将参与系列研讨会、研究和课堂准备实验的开发。该奖项由数学和物理科学理事会物理系、天文科学系和材料研究部联合支持。
