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.

矿业与技术的南达科他州学校，沿着合作伙伴组织，南达科他州州立大学，和南达科他州大学将提供一个创新的研究经验本科（REU）网站专注于跨学科的研究致力于安全印刷和防伪技术（SPACT），本科生的多元化队列。 在美国，伪造是一个日益严重的问题，造成严重的经济、安全和国家安全问题，并影响各种行业（如制药、半导体）。REU参与者将从事跨学科的合作研究，将物理科学家和工程师与社会和行为科学家配对。这种趋同办法对于处理和瓦解现代非法供应网络固有的复杂性至关重要。在为期10周的暑期研究体验中，10名REU学生将进行变革性防伪技术的研究。SPACT是一个需要在四个关键领域发展的领域：（i）先进材料，（ii）先进制造和图案化，（ii）检测和加密，以及（iv）社会/行为科学和系统工程。该计划的主要目标是（1）在协作，跨学科的环境中进行变革性研究，以及（2）为本科生的多元化群体提供STEM专业发展机会，重点是部落学院和其他机构有限的STEM研究机会。来自各种STEM学科的优秀教师导师团队，具有广泛的经验和背景，将通过让REU参与跨学科合作研究来实施SPACT计划，该研究将物理科学家和工程师与社会和行为科学家配对。学生还将参加一个高度综合的专业发展和技术交流计划，旨在刺激专业发展和必要的研究技能的发展，在21世纪世纪取得成功。学院将与行业领导者一起举办培训研讨会，以扩大学生在相关SPACT领域的现有学术培训。长期目标是为不同的STEM研究人员提供所需的培训和技能，以追求最高水平的研究生学习，并推动SPACT的发展领域。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。
