This award supports the renewal of an REU Site in computational astrophysics at the University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC). Students will principally be recruited from regional community colleges, where the main selection criteria will be outstanding academic accomplishments and promise of future achievement. Each year, ten selected interns will work closely with mentors at UCSC and will take part in an intensive eight-week introduction to astrophysical research methods and tools with an emphasis on cosmological simulations. The overall goal of the program is not to solely train astrophysicists but to use astrophysical simulations as an exciting medium for imparting a broad array of scientific skills to the participants. The REU Site will increase the retention and graduation rates for students enrolled in two-year colleges through inquiry-based learning of concepts related to astronomy and planetary sciences, using state-of-art astrophysical simulations as a common pillar. Through a comprehensive program of research instruction, mentoring, workshops, and support programs at UCSC, students will develop additional skills to advance their educations and careers. The REU Site has developed a Family Astronomy Night lecture series at the partnering diversity-serving institutions, with the dual aims of communicating astronomy to a wide audience, and ensuring that parents of REU students can support their child's academic success.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.

该奖项支持更新加州大学圣克鲁斯分校(UCSC)计算天体物理学的REU站点。学生将主要从地区社区学院招收，主要选择标准将是杰出的学术成就和未来成就的承诺。每年，10名被选中的实习生将与加州大学洛杉矶分校的导师们密切合作，并将参加为期八周的天体物理研究方法和工具的密集介绍，重点是宇宙模拟。该计划的总体目标不仅仅是培训天体物理学家，而是将天体物理模拟作为一种令人兴奋的媒介，向参与者传授广泛的科学技能。REU网站将使用最先进的天体物理模拟作为共同支柱，通过探究式学习天文学和行星科学相关概念，提高两年制大学注册学生的保留率和毕业率。通过UCSC的研究指导、指导、研讨会和支持计划的综合计划，学生将发展更多的技能，以促进他们的教育和职业生涯。REU网站在合作的多元化服务机构中开发了家庭天文之夜系列讲座，双重目标是向广泛的受众传播天文学，并确保REU学生的父母能够支持他们孩子的学业成功。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
