This award supports the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Colorado/JILA. The site will support eight students per year for ten weeks of summer research. The intellectual focus of this REU program is physics, and undergraduate students are paired up with preeminent faculty to do cutting-edge research in many fields of physics, including atomic, molecular, and optical physics, biophysics, condensed matter physics, high energy physics, nuclear physics, plasma physics, quantum physics, quantum information science, and physics education research. While the main emphasis of the summer is centered on each student's individual research lab, where the students are expected to master at least a part of a large task, a variety of other activities take place during the program. These include ethics, electronics, and machining classes, a program on "Getting Into Grad School," as well as lab tours and a weekly science seminar series aimed at the students. The program culminates with a day of presentations given by each of the REU students. Special efforts are made to include significant participation levels from women and minorities, as well as from students coming from smaller institutions that do not have as many research opportunities. This program fits in with the NSF goal of developing a diverse and internationally competitive scientific and engineering workforce. Active research experience is one of the most effective ways to attract talented undergraduates and retain them in careers in science and engineering.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.

该奖项支持科罗拉多大学/吉拉大学本科生（REU）网站的研究经验的更新。该网站将每年为八个学生提供夏季研究的十个星期。该REU计划的智力重点是物理学，本科生与杰出的教师配对，以在许多物理领域进行尖端研究，包括原子，分子和光学物理学，生物物理学，凝结物理学，高能量物理学，高能量物理学，高能量物理学，核物理学，核物理学，量子物理学，量子信息，物理学，物理学，量子科学，量子科学，量子，量子，量子，和物理学。虽然夏天的主要重点集中在每个学生的个人研究实验室，在该实验室中，学生将至少掌握一项艰巨的任务，但在计划期间进行了各种其他活动。其中包括道德，电子和加工课程，有关“进入研究生院”的计划，以及实验室旅行和针对学生的每周科学研讨会系列。该计划以每位REU学生的演讲为最终。做出的特殊努力是包括来自妇女和少数族裔的大量参与水平，以及来自没有那么多研究机会的较小机构的学生。该计划符合NSF的目标，即开发多样化和国际竞争激烈的科学和工程劳动力。积极的研究经验是吸引才华横溢的本科生并将其保留在科学和工程职业中的最有效方法之一。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估审查标准，被认为值得通过评估来支持。
