This award supports the funding of the REU site in Physics and Astronomy at the University of Toledo. Undergraduate students have a variety of cutting edge research opportunities in topics: Astrophysics; Atomic/Molecular/Optical Physics; Biological/Health/Medical Physics; Condensed Matter/Materials; Computational Physics; (with specialization in thin films and photovoltaics); and Plasma Physics. Opportunities exist for some of the research projects to be conducted with their faculty mentors at national facilities. The research projects are chosen such that they will lead to eventual publication in the appropriate professional research journals. REU students will be involved in exciting research in a department that allows individualized attention yet is large enough to give students experiences in a variety of physics subfields. A variety of social activities for the REU students are also planned. The REU site is committed to involving students from diverse backgrounds in this research experience. A majority of tracked former REU students have successfully gone onto graduate school for an M.S. or Ph.D. in physics, astronomy, and related areas. This program contributes to the generation of the STEM workforce in the US.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.

该奖项支持托莱多大学物理学和天文学的REU网站的资金。本科生有各种各样的前沿研究机会的主题：天体物理学;原子/分子/光学物理学;生物/健康/医学物理学;凝聚态物质/材料;计算物理学;（与薄膜和photophilics专业）;和等离子体物理学。一些研究项目有机会在国家设施中与他们的教师导师一起进行。研究项目的选择，使他们将导致最终在适当的专业研究期刊上发表。 REU学生将参与一个部门，允许个性化的关注，但足够大，让学生在各种物理子领域的经验令人兴奋的研究。还计划为REU学生举办各种社交活动。REU网站致力于让来自不同背景的学生参与这项研究。大多数被跟踪的前REU学生已经成功地进入研究生院攻读硕士学位。或博士在物理学天文学和相关领域。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。
