The University of Michigan Physics REU program provides a transformative summer research experience for undergraduate students from around the country who otherwise may not have access to a major research program. The first goal of the program is to prepare the students for a career in the physical sciences. The second goal is for the students to perform cutting edge research in modern physics laboratories with active research groups and dedicated faculty. The research areas include astrophysics and cosmology, atomic, molecular and optical physics, condensed matter physics, high energy physics, nonlinear dynamics, complex systems and nuclear physics. The REU students work closely with a faculty mentor on a carefully crafted ten-week research project. The selected students are interviewed to determine their interest and are then matched to faculty who are active in research in that area. The project is defined based on the interest of the student and the research needs of the faculty. In addition to the research project the students are exposed to a variety of research topics and methodologies through a series of faculty research seminars. Professional development is a critical part of the REU program and students participate in tutorials on ethics, applying to graduate school, applying for grants, scientific writing and giving scientific presentations. Students engage in additional educational and social activities, including safety training, machine shop and electronic shop classes, lab tours and a variety of lunches with other students and faculty. These activities allow students to put their research experience in a wider perspective, to build a network of professional contacts, and to develop professional skills in a scientific environment.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.

密歇根大学物理REU项目为来自全国各地的本科生提供了一个变革性的夏季研究经验，否则他们可能无法获得主要的研究项目。该课程的第一个目标是为学生在物理科学领域的职业生涯做好准备。第二个目标是让学生在现代物理实验室中进行前沿研究，拥有活跃的研究小组和专门的教师。研究领域包括天体物理与宇宙学、原子、分子与光学物理、凝聚态物理、高能物理、非线性动力学、复杂系统、核物理等。REU的学生与教师导师密切合作，精心设计了一个为期十周的研究项目。被选中的学生将接受面试，以确定他们的兴趣，然后与活跃于该领域研究的教师进行匹配。该项目是根据学生的兴趣和教师的研究需要来定义的。除了研究项目，学生还通过一系列的教师研究研讨会接触到各种研究主题和方法。专业发展是REU项目的一个重要组成部分，学生们要参加伦理辅导、申请研究生院、申请资助、科学写作和科学演讲。学生参与额外的教育和社会活动，包括安全培训，机械车间和电子商店课程，实验室参观和与其他学生和教师的各种午餐。这些活动使学生能够把他们的研究经验放在一个更广阔的角度，建立一个专业联系网络，并在科学的环境中发展专业技能。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
