This award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. This is a ten-week summer residential research participation experience that engages undergraduate students in full-time active research collaborations with faculty, research professionals, and graduate students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. A selection of research projects in Physics, Applied Physics, and Astronomy, as well as closely associated areas, is available. Students will gain experience in presenting their results by making oral and written presentations throughout the summer. This project impacts the research and development competitiveness of the United States by recruiting excellent students into STEM research fields and by training these students to perform leading-edge research in technologically important fields. Undergraduate students are both mentored individually by research faculty and engage in group professional development activities. Research projects are cutting-edge in Physics, Applied Physics, and Astronomy, and include astronomy, astrophysics, condensed matter physics, energy conversion, geophysics, particle physics, and biological physics. In addition to their own research area, students will be exposed to a variety of research topics and methodologies through a series of research seminars and student presentations. Further breadth will be developed through visits to nearby research facilities. To assist in their professional development, students also participate in tutorials on ethics, applying to graduate school, scientific writing and giving scientific presentations, as well as safety training, machine shop training, and lab tours. These activities allow students to put their research experience into a wider perspective, build a network of professional contacts, and 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.

该奖项支持伦斯勒理工学院本科生研究经验（REU）网站。这是一个为期十周的暑期住宿研究参与体验，让本科生与伦斯勒理工学院的教师、研究专业人员和研究生进行全职积极的研究合作。在物理学，应用物理学和天文学，以及密切相关的领域的研究项目的选择，是可用的。学生们将在整个夏天通过口头和书面报告获得展示他们成果的经验。该项目通过招募优秀的学生进入STEM研究领域，并通过培训这些学生在技术重要领域进行前沿研究，影响美国的研发竞争力。本科生既由研究教师单独指导，也参与小组专业发展活动。研究项目涉及物理学、应用物理学和天文学的前沿领域，包括天文学、天体物理学、凝聚态物理、能量转换、地球物理学、粒子物理学和生物物理学。除了自己的研究领域外，学生还将通过一系列研究研讨会和学生演讲接触到各种研究主题和方法。通过参观附近的研究设施，将进一步扩大范围。为了帮助他们的专业发展，学生们还参加有关伦理、申请研究生院、科学写作和科学演讲的教程，以及安全培训、机械车间培训和实验室参观。这些活动使学生能够将自己的研究经验放在更广阔的视野中，建立专业联系网络，并在科学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。
