Uncovering the mysteries of how the world works and inspiring and educating the next generation of students to continue to pursue elucidating nature's secrets is the goal of this program. This award supports the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in nuclear science at Texas A&M University. The site will support ten undergraduates per year in ten weeks of research during the summer months. Involvement in research at the undergraduate level is a critical component in increasing the numbers and preparation of students entering graduate programs and STEM careers. This site primarily targets students who lack opportunities to research in nuclear science at their home institutions. However, all students are considered for participation.The student research projects are at the leading edge of nuclear science, including sub-fields such as nuclear astrophysics, weak interactions, nuclear dynamics and thermodynamics, nuclear structure, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), atomic ionization, and radiation effects. Students will complete projects that can primarily be described as theoretical, experimental, or analytical. However, all students will learn about each research aspect during the program. The Cyclotron Institute is a Department of Energy (DOE) Nuclear Physics Center of Excellence. The facilities include a K500 superconducting cyclotron, a K150 cyclotron, and associated state-of the art detector systems. The Cyclotron Institute and the physics department are also home base for involvement in experiments at other facilities. The faculty are leading scientists in the field and have a history of working with undergraduates in their research programs.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.

揭开世界如何运作的奥秘，并激励和教育下一代学生继续追求阐明自然的秘密是这个计划的目标。 该奖项支持德克萨斯州A M大学核科学本科生研究经验（REU）网站的更新。该网站将支持每年十个本科生在十个星期的研究在夏季。参与本科阶段的研究是增加进入研究生课程和STEM职业的学生数量和准备的关键组成部分。该网站主要针对那些在本国机构中没有机会进行核科学研究的学生。学生的研究项目是核科学的前沿，包括核天体物理、弱相互作用、核动力学和热力学、核结构、相对论重离子对撞机（RHIC）、原子电离和辐射效应等子领域。学生将完成主要可以描述为理论，实验或分析的项目。然而，所有学生都将在课程期间了解每个研究方面。回旋加速器研究所是能源部（DOE）核物理卓越中心。这些设施包括一个K500超导回旋加速器，一个K150回旋加速器和相关的最先进的探测器系统。回旋加速器研究所和物理系也是参与其他设施实验的基地。该学院是该领域的领先科学家，并在其研究项目中与本科生合作。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。
