This award supports the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Colorado/JILA. The site will support eight students per year for ten weeks of summer research. The intellectual focus of this REU program is physics, and undergraduate students are paired up with preeminent faculty to do cutting-edge research in many fields of physics, including atomic, molecular, and optical physics, biophysics, condensed matter physics, high energy physics, nuclear physics, plasma physics, quantum physics, quantum information science, and physics education research. While the main emphasis of the summer is centered on each student's individual research lab, where the students are expected to master at least a part of a large task, a variety of other activities take place during the program. These include ethics, electronics, and machining classes, a program on "Getting Into Grad School," as well as lab tours and a weekly science seminar series aimed at the students. The program culminates with a day of presentations given by each of the REU students. Special efforts are made to include significant participation levels from women and minorities, as well as from students coming from smaller institutions that do not have as many research opportunities. This program fits in with the NSF goal of developing a diverse and internationally competitive scientific and engineering workforce. Active research experience is one of the most effective ways to attract talented undergraduates and retain them in careers in science and engineering. This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.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.

该奖项支持科罗拉多大学/JILA本科生研究经验（REU）网站的更新。该网站每年将支持8名学生进行为期10周的暑期研究。这个REU项目的智力焦点是物理学，本科生与杰出的教师配对，在物理学的许多领域做前沿研究，包括原子、分子和光学物理学、生物物理学、凝聚态物理、高能物理、核物理、等离子体物理、量子物理、量子信息科学和物理教育研究。虽然夏季的主要重点是集中在每个学生的个人研究实验室，在那里学生被期望掌握至少一部分的大任务，各种各样的其他活动发生在程序。这些课程包括伦理学、电子学和机械加工课程，一个关于“进入研究生院”的项目，以及实验室参观和针对学生的每周科学系列研讨会。该计划的高潮是由REU的每个学生做一天的演讲。特别努力使妇女和少数民族以及来自没有那么多研究机会的小型机构的学生大量参与。该项目符合美国国家科学基金会发展多样化和具有国际竞争力的科学和工程劳动力的目标。积极的科研经历是吸引优秀本科生并将其留在理工科领域的最有效途径之一。该站点由国防部与NSF REU项目合作提供支持。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。
