This award provides renewed funding for three years for the longstanding Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Northern Arizona University (NAU), Lowell Observatory, and the USGS Astrogeology Science Center. Ten student participants per year will be paired with NAU, Lowell, and USGS scientists to conduct astrophysics research into a wide variety of topics, including planetary, solar, stellar, and galactic astrophysics. In addition, the students will attend biweekly seminars to learn more about professional astrophysics, responsible research conduct, and applying to graduate school. The Site will also introduce students to cutting-edge telescopes, including Lowell's Discovery Channel Telescope and the Naval Precision Optical Interferometer. By offering high-quality research experiences to students at a critical stage of undergraduate education, the REU Site will contribute to increasing the nationwide pool of scientists and engineers. Participants will develop the research methods and analytical skills (mathematical, computational, and logical) necessary to process data, understand primary research, and to remain current with new developments in the field. The REU Site also has an active and highly developed plan to recruit underrepresented minorities into its program, which will expand STEM training opportunities to these groups.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.

该奖项为北亚利桑那大学（NAU）、洛厄尔天文台和美国地质勘探局天体地质科学中心的长期本科生研究经验（REU）站点提供了三年的新资金。每年10名学生参与者将与NAU， Lowell和USGS的科学家配对，对各种各样的主题进行天体物理学研究，包括行星，太阳，恒星和银河系天体物理学。此外，学生们将参加每两周一次的研讨会，以学习更多关于专业天体物理学、负责任的研究行为和申请研究生院的知识。该网站还将向学生介绍尖端望远镜，包括洛厄尔发现频道望远镜和海军精密光学干涉仪。通过为处于本科教育关键阶段的学生提供高质量的研究经验，REU网站将有助于增加全国科学家和工程师的数量。参与者将发展必要的研究方法和分析技能（数学，计算和逻辑）来处理数据，理解主要研究，并与该领域的新发展保持同步。REU网站也有一个积极和高度发达的计划，招募代表性不足的少数民族加入其计划，这将扩大STEM培训机会给这些群体。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。
