This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site award to the University of Washington, located in Seattle, WA, supports the training of a total of 27 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2020-2022. This program, funded by the Divisions of Chemistry and Materials Research in the Directorate of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, engages students and community college instructors (RETs) in education and research centered around pathways to clean energy. Students are exposed to activities spanning chemistry, physics, materials science, chemical engineering, and electrical engineering. Through the program, community college instructors have opportunities to increase their knowledge of clean energy research areas and find ways to incorporate research skills into their curricula. Alongside a robust professional development program, this site also offers community college students long-lasting and extended mentorship through the Research 360 program. This program is based around two main research areas: (i) Advanced materials for energy (AME) and (ii) Energy systems and integration (ESI). Participants in the AME thrust focus on developing novel materials for solar energy conversion and electrical energy storage devices. Participants in the ESI thrust build innovative software and hardware tools that accelerate the integration of solar energy and electrical energy storage with systems and the grid, enabling a scalable clean energy future. By recruiting and training underrepresented groups, this site expands diversity in the STEM workforce. By having a holistic program with community college instructor involvement, this program facilitates student retention as they start down their academic path.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.

本研究经验的本科生（REU）网站奖给华盛顿，位于华盛顿州西雅图的大学，支持在2020-2022年的夏天共27名学生的10周的培训。该计划由数学和物理科学理事会化学和材料研究部门资助，使学生和社区学院教师（RET）参与围绕清洁能源途径的教育和研究。学生接触到跨越化学，物理，材料科学，化学工程和电气工程的活动。通过该计划，社区学院的教师有机会增加他们对清洁能源研究领域的知识，并找到将研究技能纳入课程的方法。除了一个强大的专业发展计划，该网站还通过研究360计划为社区大学生提供长期和长期的指导。该计划基于两个主要研究领域：（i）先进能源材料（AME）和（ii）能源系统和集成（ESI）。AME项目的参与者专注于开发用于太阳能转换和电能存储设备的新型材料。ESI的参与者构建创新的软件和硬件工具，加速太阳能和电能存储与系统和电网的集成，实现可扩展的清洁能源未来。通过招募和培训代表性不足的群体，该网站扩大了STEM劳动力的多样性。 通过与社区大学教师的参与，这个计划有助于学生保留，因为他们开始了他们的学术道路。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
