This award funds the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in physics at the Miami University Oxford Campus. Ten students will be supported for ten weeks of summer research each year in topics from biophysics, optics and quantum optics/quantum information, condensed matter physics, and physics education research. The goals of the site are to provide (i) mentored research opportunities for a diverse group of students; (ii) professional development topics; (iii) interactions with other students and faculty on a professional and social level. The overarching goal is to promote physics as a professional choice and send more talented students to graduate school in STEM fields.Student mentoring will take place on multiple levels. REU students work in groups with one or two undergraduate students and a Masters level graduate student. Working groups will meet regularly with the mentors and discuss progress, or solve problems encountered. The site will enhance the research and professional skills of the participants and the students will meet on a regular basis to discuss professional development topics. Through these activities, the site is training the next generation of physicists.This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项资助迈阿密大学牛津校区的本科生物理研究体验 (REU) 网站。 每年将支持十名学生进行十周的夏季研究，主题涵盖生物物理学、光学和量子光学/量子信息、凝聚态物理和物理教育研究。 该网站的目标是（i）为不同的学生群体提供指导研究机会； (ii) 专业发展主题； (iii) 与其他学生和教师在专业和社交层面上的互动。总体目标是促进物理学作为一种专业选择，并派遣更多有才华的学生进入 STEM 领域的研究生院。学生辅导将在多个层面上进行。 REU 学生以一到两名本科生和一名硕士研究生为一组进行工作。工作组将定期与导师会面并讨论进展情况或解决遇到的问题。 该网站将提高参与者的研究和专业技能，学生将定期会面讨论专业发展主题。通过这些活动，该网站正在培训下一代物理学家。该网站得到了国防部与 NSF REU 计划的合作支持。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
