This award provides renewed funding for undergraduate students to conduct experimental, observational, theoretical, and computational research activities in earth science, planetary science, and astronomy at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City. Eight students per year will be selected to perform research into topics ranging from meteoritics, to volcanology, to experimental and theoretical astrophysics. The participants will be rigorously trained and well-educated in the fundamentals of the scientific enterprise, and will receive valuable research experience in an active, immersive, integrated research and education environment.Although it recruits from a nationwide pool, this Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site particularly leverages longstanding collaborations between scientists in the City University of New York (CUNY) system and at AMNH. CUNY is a 269,000-student urban public university network whose students primarily come from communities underrepresented in science. The CUNY/AMNH partnership will therefore enhance the REU Site's ability to recruit students in urban, traditionally underserved populations. Aside from their primary research activities, REU interns will also participate in Museum programs; attend field trips, colloquia, and conferences to present research; and present their work in a scientific symposium open to the public.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.

该奖项为本科生在纽约市的美国自然历史博物馆（AMNH）进行地球科学，行星科学和天文学的实验，观测，理论和计算研究活动提供了新的资金。每年将选出8名学生进行研究，主题从陨石学到火山学，再到实验和理论天体物理学。参与者将接受严格的科学企业基础知识培训和良好的教育，并将在积极，沉浸式，综合研究和教育环境中获得宝贵的研究经验。虽然它从全国范围内招募，但这个本科生研究经验（REU）网站特别利用了纽约（CUNY）系统和AMNH科学家之间的长期合作。纽约市立大学是一个拥有269，000名学生的城市公立大学网络，其学生主要来自科学代表性不足的社区。因此，纽约市立大学/AMNH的伙伴关系将提高REU网站的能力，招收学生在城市，传统上服务不足的人口。除了他们的主要研究活动，REU实习生还将参加博物馆项目;参加实地考察，座谈会和会议以展示研究成果;并在向公众开放的科学研讨会上展示他们的工作。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。
