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.

该奖项支持西雅图华盛顿大学本科生（REU）网站的研究经验的更新。该计划提供了几乎每个子场的大量学生项目。它利用华盛顿大学强大的内部“桌面”实验计划；它的机器商店设施，包括一流的学生商店； CENPA，核物理和天体物理学中的DOE分离中心；以及从核理论研究所到生物物理学到使用二十五十个本地集群以及对物理教育的研究，以及理论机会。该奖项为每个夏天的十二名学生提供支持。选择过去的学习成绩，推荐信以及考虑到影响学生职业的潜力，选择将具有竞争力。每个学生参与者将与UW教职员工合作。几个物理教师作为顾问参加，从附属部门选出的教职员工也是如此。学生工作包括：设计，建设和仪器的调试；数据收集和分析；数值建模；开发用于这种建模的软件；和理论。这项工作并非很少见到期刊出版物。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并认为使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评论标准，被认为值得通过评估。
