This award is for renewed funding of the REU Site at Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics (CIERA) at Northwestern University (NU). The REU site takes advantage of CIERA's interdisciplinary nature, providing students with access to mentors across departments, and insight into the cross-departmental connections between astronomy and astrophysics and other STEM disciplines. The program will be offered annually to 8 students. The available mentors come from the departments of: Physics and Astronomy; Applied Math; Earth and Planetary Science; and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Available research projects cover astronomical topics and methods ranging across theory, computation, instrumentation, and experimentation. The students will have access to a wide range of cutting-edge facilities, including instrument labs and the Quest high performance computing facility at NU. Through this exposure, the REU students will learn how astronomical studies prepare them with a wide range of skills and can lead them to diverse professional paths. NU CIERA's REU site gives students the experience of doing interdisciplinary astronomical research, exposes them to a wide array of exciting research areas in astrophysics, and builds a community among the students and NU researchers. The Site recruits a significant fraction of its participants from underrepresented groups in STEM by partnering with Chicago-area minority serving institutions. Through high-quality research experiences and profesional development activities, the NU CIERA REU Site will contribute to the development of a diverse, sophisticated, and highly competitive STEM workforce.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.

该奖项是为在西北大学（NU）的天体物理学跨学科探索与研究中心（NU）的REU网站续签资金。 REU网站利用了Ciera的跨学科性质，为学生提供了跨部门的导师的机会，并深入了解了天文学与天体物理学以及其他STEM学科之间的跨部门联系。该计划将每年向8名学生提供。可用的导师来自：物理和天文学的部门；应用数学；地球和行星科学；以及电气工程和计算机科学。可用的研究项目涵盖了跨理论，计算，仪器和实验的天文主题和方法。学生将可以使用多种尖端设施，包括仪表实验室和NU的Quest高性能计算设施。通过这种曝光，REU学生将学习天文学研究如何为他们提供各种技能，并可以导致他们走上各种专业道路。 Nu Ciera的REU网站为学生提供了进行跨学科天文学研究的经验，使他们暴露于一系列令人兴奋的天体物理学研究领域，并在学生和NU研究人员中建立了社区。该网站通过与芝加哥地区的少数民族服务机构合作，招募了STEM中代表性不足的群体的参与者中很大一部分。通过高质量的研究经验和专业发展活动，Nu Ciera Reu网站将有助于发展多样化，复杂和高度竞争的STEM劳动力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的审查审查标准来通过评估来通过评估来提供支持的。
