This award will support a renewal of the summer REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) site in Astronomy at the University of Wyoming. Each summer, eight students will work together on the same research project, mentored by the entire astronomy faculty. In addition to the research experience, this will promote teamwork, leadership, and peer teaching skills. They will also attend presentations or short courses on research techniques and results, preparing for graduate school, writing and speaking in science, exploring ethical issues in science. Students will develop broadly-applicable skills in computer programming and image analysis. This program will benefit society by enhancing the education of undergraduates through research and professional development programs and by extending these opportunities to students from institutions otherwise unable to offer such experiences. Recruiting will focus on students with little to no research experience, mainly freshmen and sophomores from liberal arts colleges and smaller public institutions, including community colleges. Students will have full access to the 2.3-meter and the 0.6-meter telescopes. The specific project and lead faculty member will rotate each summer. Other faculty will play supporting roles and conduct professional development programs for the students. REU students will have an opportunity to gain valuable outreach experience by assisting with AstroCamp, a 10-day residence camp for middle-school students.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.

该奖项将支持夏季REU（本科生研究经验）在怀俄明州大学天文学网站的更新。每年夏天，八名学生将在同一个研究项目上合作，由整个天文学系指导。除了研究经验，这将促进团队合作，领导能力和同伴教学技能。他们还将参加有关研究技术和结果的演讲或短期课程，为研究生院做准备，在科学中写作和演讲，探索科学中的伦理问题。学生将在计算机编程和图像分析方面发展广泛适用的技能。该计划将通过研究和专业发展计划加强本科生的教育，并将这些机会扩展到无法提供此类经验的机构的学生，从而使社会受益。招聘将集中在几乎没有研究经验的学生，主要是来自文理学院和较小的公共机构，包括社区学院的新生和大学生。学生将可以完全使用2.3米和0.6米的望远镜。具体的项目和首席教员将每年夏天轮换。其他教师将发挥支持作用，并为学生进行专业发展计划。REU学生将有机会通过协助AstroCamp获得宝贵的外展经验，AstroCamp是一个为期10天的中学生住宿营。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。
