This award supports the renewal of the Physics Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of California, Davis. Each year, the REU program will provide twelve students from around the United States an opportunity to participate in a ten-week summer research program. REU students work closely with a faculty mentor on a ten-week research project chosen from a variety of physics subfields. The projects span the subfields of astrophysics, biophysics, complex systems, condensed matter, nuclear and particle physics. Examples of projects include efforts to understand quantum gravity, develop photovoltaics from nanoparticles, investigate dark energy and dark matter, model the workings of Alzheimer's disease, produce medically important radioactive isotopes, and many more. In addition to their specific research project, the students learn from their interactions with faculty, graduate students, and other REU students, and from field trips showing physics-related work in diverse settings. Students will visit facilities such as the McClellan Nuclear Research Center, Lick Observatory, and the Advanced Light Source. At the end of the program, each participant gives a formal research presentation and presents a written project report that can lead to a peer reviewed publication. Taken as a whole, the REU activities teach skills useful for further scientific endeavors, give students a broad perspective on possible future paths, and help them build a network of professional contacts. This award is supported by the Division of Physics and the Division of Materials Research within the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate of the National Science Foundation.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.

该奖项支持更新加州大学戴维斯分校的本科生物理研究经验（REU）网站。每年，REU计划将提供来自美国各地的12名学生有机会参加为期十周的夏季研究计划。REU学生与教师导师密切合作，进行为期十周的研究项目，从各种物理子领域中选择。这些项目涵盖天体物理学、生物物理学、复杂系统、凝聚态物质、核和粒子物理学等子领域。项目的例子包括努力理解量子引力，从纳米粒子开发光子学，研究暗能量和暗物质，模拟阿尔茨海默病的运作，生产医学上重要的放射性同位素等等。 除了他们的具体研究项目，学生们从他们与教师，研究生和其他REU学生的互动，并从实地考察显示在不同的设置物理相关的工作学习。 学生将参观麦克莱伦核研究中心，利克天文台和先进光源等设施。在计划结束时，每个参与者都会给出一个正式的研究报告，并提交一份书面项目报告，该报告可以导致同行评审的出版物。总的来说，REU活动教授对进一步科学努力有用的技能，为学生提供未来可能道路的广阔视角，并帮助他们建立专业联系网络。该奖项由国家科学基金会数学和物理科学理事会的物理部和材料研究部支持。该奖项反映了NSF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。
