REU Site: Solar and Space Physics with the Boulder Solar Alliance

这个建议是一个更新的REU网站，将向学生介绍太阳和空间物理学的真实研究。它将开始一个为期一周的暑期学校，关于太阳，地球的磁层和大气层，日光层，和太阳-地球的连接。本周还包括一个科学计算的实践课程和一个队列建设小组项目。学生们将在剩下的九周时间里从事个人研究项目，由来自科罗拉多博尔德参与研究所的科学家导师指导。该计划的最后，每个学生给他们的工作，以及他们的发现海报或手稿20分钟的口头报告。学生学习独立从事前沿研究，并有效地交流他们的成果。除了研究，每周的专业发展会议教学生在科学的职业选择，申请研究生院，道德和冒名顶替者综合症，创造一个简历，和科学交流（讲座、海报、建议书、和手稿）。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。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知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估。

This proposal is a renewal REU site that will introduce students to authentic research in solar and space physics. It will begin with a one week summer school on the Sun, the Earth’s magnetosphere and atmosphere, the heliosphere, and the Sun-Earth connection. This week also includes a practical course in scientific computing and a cohort-building group project. The students will spend the remaining nine weeks working on individual research projects guided by scientist mentors from the participating institutes in Boulder, Colorado. The program concludes with each student giving a 20 minute oral presentation of their work as well as a poster or manuscript of their findings. The students learn to work independently on cutting-edge research and to communicate their results effectively. In addition to research, weekly professional development sessions teach the students about career options in science, applying to graduate school, ethics and impostor syndrome, creating a CV, and scientific communication (talks, posters, proposals, and manuscripts).This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.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.
