The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, along with partner organizations, South Dakota State University, and the University of South Dakota will offer an innovative Research Experiences for Undergraduate (REU) Site focused on interdisciplinary research dedicated to Security Printing and Anti-Counterfeiting Technology (SPACT), to a diverse cohort of undergraduate students. Counterfeiting is a growing issue in the U.S., posing serious economic, safety and national security concerns and impacting a wide variety of industries (e.g. pharmaceutics, semiconductors). REU participants will engage in interdisciplinary collaborative research that pairs physical scientists and engineers with social and behavioral scientists. This convergent approach is crucial for addressing and disrupting the complexity inherent to modern illicit supply networks. During this 10-week summer research experience, 10 REU students will conduct research on transformative anti-counterfeiting technology. SPACT is a field which demands development in four key areas: (i) advanced materials, (ii) advanced manufacturing and patterning, (ii) detection and encryption, and (iv) social/behavior science and systems engineering. The key objectives of the program are to (1) conduct transformative research in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment, and (2) provide STEM professional development opportunities to a diverse group of undergraduate students, with a focus on Tribal Colleges and other institutions with limited STEM research opportunities. A talented team of faculty mentors from a variety of STEM disciplines, with a wide spectrum of experience and backgrounds, will implement a program in SPACT by engaging REU participants in interdisciplinary collaborative research that pairs physical scientists and engineers with social and behavioral scientists. Students will also participate in a highly integrated professional development and technical communications program designed to stimulate professional development and the development of research skills necessary to succeed in the 21st century. The faculty, alongside industry leaders, will deliver training seminars to broaden the students' existing academic training in the relevant SPACT areas. The long-term goal is to provide a diverse group of STEM researchers with the training and skills needed to pursue graduate studies at the highest levels and to advance the developing field of SPACT.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.

南达科他州矿业与技术学院以及合作伙伴组织，南达科他州立大学和南达科他大学将为本科生（REU）网站提供创新的研究经验，专注于跨学科研究，致力于跨学科印刷和反竞争技术（SPACT）（SPACT），并向多样化的学生组成的学生。 伪造是美国日益严重的问题，引起了严重的经济，安全和国家安全的关注，并影响了各种各样的行业（例如，药物，半导体）。 REU参与者将参与跨学科的合作研究，将物理科学家和工程师与社会和行为科学家配对。这种收敛的方法对于解决和破坏现代非法供应网络固有的复杂性至关重要。在这项为期10周的夏季研究经验中，有10位REU学生将进行有关变革性反向造成技术的研究。 Spact是一个需要在四个关键领域开发的领域：（i）高级材料，（ii）高级制造和图案，（ii）检测和加密以及（iv）社会/行为科学与系统工程。该计划的关键目标是（1）在协作，跨学科的环境中进行变革性研究，（2）（2）为多样化的本科生提供STEM专业发展机会，重点是部落学院和其他具有有限STEM研究机会的机构。来自各种STEM学科的有才华的教师导师团队，具有广泛的经验和背景，将通过让REU参与者参与跨学科的合作研究来实施一项计划，这些计划将物理科学家和工程师与社会和行为科学家配对。学生还将参加一项高度综合的专业发展和技术沟通计划，旨在激发21世纪成功所必需的研究技能的发展。该教师与行业领导者一起将举办培训研讨会，以扩大学生在相关SPACT领域的现有学术培训。长期的目标是为一组STEM研究人员提供最高级别的研究生学习所需的培训和技能，并推进SPACT的发展领域。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准通过评估来进行评估的。
