This award supports the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Washington, Seattle. The program offers a broad selection of student projects from almost every sub-field of physics. It makes use of the University of Washington's strong in-house "table-top" experimental programs; its machine-shop facilities including a first-rate student shop; CENPA, a DOE center-of-excellence in nuclear physics and astrophysics; and theory opportunities ranging from the Institute for Nuclear Theory to Biophysics to use of a twenty-teraflop local cluster, as well as research into physics education. The award supports twelve students per summer. Selection will be competitive, considering past academic performance, letters of recommendation, and taking into account the potential for impacting the student's career.Each student participant will be partnered with a UW faculty adviser. Several Physics faculty members participate as advisers, as do selected faculty from affiliated departments. Student work includes: design, construction, and commissioning of instrumentation; data collection and analysis; numerical modeling; the development of software for such modeling; and theory. Not infrequently this work culminates in a journal publication.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.

该奖项支持在西雅图的华盛顿大学的本科生研究经验（REU）网站的更新。该计划提供了一个广泛的选择学生的项目，从几乎每一个物理子领域。它利用了华盛顿大学强大的内部“桌面”实验项目;其机械车间设施，包括一流的学生商店; CENPA，能源部核物理和天体物理学卓越中心;和理论机会，从核理论研究所到生物物理学，使用20万亿次本地集群，以及研究物理教育。该奖项每年夏天支持12名学生。选择将是竞争性的，考虑过去的学习成绩，推荐信，并考虑到影响学生的职业生涯的潜力。每个学生参与者将与华盛顿大学的教师顾问合作。一些物理教师作为顾问参加，从附属部门选择的教师。学生工作包括：仪器的设计、建造和调试;数据收集和分析;数值建模;此类建模软件的开发;以及理论。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。
