REU Site: Physics at Indiana University Bloomington

该奖项全部（或部分）根据2021年美国救援计划法案（公法117-2）资助。该奖项支持在物理本科生（REU）网站在印第安纳州大学（IU）的研究经验的更新。该计划将支持多达15名参与者在2022年至2024年的夏季进行为期10周的实验和理论研究项目，在广泛的领域在IU物理系和IU中心探索能源和物质（CEEM）。将招募来自美国各地学校的12名学生，优先考虑来自本科生研究机会有限的机构的学生。两个或三个（2-3）本地IU学生也将被邀请参加该计划。为学生提供的特别课程包括实验室安全指导会议，每周一次的物理学研究研讨会，专业发展和科学道德讨论，以及简短的进度报告。在课程结束时，学生将在闭幕研讨会上展示他们的成果，并开发一种方法来分享他们的成果给技术观众。他们还将被鼓励和支持，继续他们的项目工作，以及在下一学年的专业会议上介绍他们的工作。该计划为感兴趣和有前途的本科物理专业学生提供在研究密集型环境中进行科学研究的重要和具有挑战性的经验。学生将被匹配到适合他们的水平和兴趣的项目，并鼓励学生和导师的早期联系。参与者将通过在教职员工和高级研究人员的监督下作为正在进行的研究计划的组成部分来获得原始研究经验。学生将通过研讨会和同行互动了解广泛的当前研究领域。研究项目将在各个领域提供，包括天体物理学，生物物理学，凝聚态物理学，基本粒子物理学，材料物理学和核物理学的实验和理论研究。该计划强调清晰，诚实，简洁的科学沟通和演讲技巧的发展。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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。

This award is funded in whole (or in part) under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). The award supports the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in physics at Indiana University (IU). The program will support up to fifteen participants for 10 weeks during the summers of 2022-24 to carry out experimental and theoretical research projects in a broad range of areas in the IU Physics Department and the IU Center for Exploration of Energy and Matter (CEEM). Twelve (12) students from schools throughout the U.S. will be recruited, with preference to students from institutions where research opportunities for undergraduates may be limited. Two or three (2-3) local IU students will also be invited to participate in the program. Special programs for the students include orientation sessions on lab safety, weekly seminars on current research in physics, discussions on professional development and scientific ethics, and short progress reports. At the conclusion of the program, the students will present their results in talks at a closing symposium and develop a way to share their results to a technical audience. They will also be encouraged and supported to continue working on their projects as well as to present their work at professional meetings during the following academic year. The program provides interested and promising undergraduate physics majors with significant and challenging experiences in scientific research in a research-intensive environment. Students will be matched to projects appropriate to their level and interests, and early contact of students and mentors will be encouraged. The participants will gain original research experience by working as integral parts of ongoing research programs under the supervision of faculty members and senior research staff. Students will learn about a broad range of current research areas through seminars and peer interactions. Research projects will be available in a variety of areas, including experimental and theoretical research in astrophysics, biophysics, condensed matter physics, elementary particle physics, materials physics, and nuclear physics. The program emphasizes the development of clear, honest, and concise scientific communication and presentation skills.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.
