This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site is based at NJIT's newly formed Institute for Space Weather Sciences that integrates the strength of three major research entities: the Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research, the Center for Computational Heliophysics, and the Center for Big Data. A total of eight students per year will be selected nationwide to participate in research projects in solar, terrestrial, and space weather physics for ten weeks during the summer. Space Weather is a relatively new and highly interdisciplinary field. Student training in this field is currently offered at a very limited number of U.S. universities.The program will recruit students from institutions with limited research infrastructure and from underrepresented groups. The site leaders have several years of experience in mentoring undergraduate researchers. Many research mentors are accomplished solar astronomers, terrestrial physicists, and computer scientists. Each REU participant will be paired with at least one research mentor to work on a specific research project. The participants will attend a series of lectures and workshops and participate in other career development activities throughout the program. They will present their final results at NJIT’s International Undergraduate Summer Research Symposium and a professional conference. The development of the future workforce requires (i) an increased awareness of this discipline, (ii) an introduction to professional research at the early stage of undergraduate studies, and (iii) an exposure to closely related disciplines and frequent cross-discipline communication.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.

本科生（REU）网站的研究经验位于NJIT新成立的太空天气科学研究所，该研究所整合了三个主要研究实体的实力：太阳能研究中心，计算机系统计算中心中心和大数据中心。夏季，每年将总共选择八名学生参加太阳能，地面和太空天气物理学的研究项目。太空天气是一个相对新的跨学科领域。目前，该领域的学生培训在美国大学数量非常有限。该计划将招募来自有限的研究基础设施和代表性不足的机构的学生。现场领导者在心理本科研究人员方面拥有多年的经验。许多研究导师是经验丰富的太阳天文学家，地面物理学家和计算机科学家。每个参与的REU将与至少一位研究导师配对，以从事特定的研究项目。参与者将参加一系列讲座和讲习班，并在整个计划中参加其他职业发展活动。他们将在NJIT的国际本科夏季研究研讨会和专业会议上提出最终结果。未来劳动力的发展需要（i）对这一纪律的认识，（ii）在本科研究的早期阶段对专业研究的介绍，（iii）接触紧密相关的学科和经常交叉沟通的沟通。基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响评论标准。
