This award renews support for a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Boston University, BU-PRO. The site will support ten undergraduate students from outside BU per summer for ten weeks of research in various topics in physics. The program aims to give students at a critical point in their education meaningful research experiences grounded in physics but with strong links to other physical sciences, including electrical, mechanical, and computer engineering, materials science, and chemistry. The specific components will include 1) research experience working in groups with peers and senior scientists on specific projects; 2) instruction in the culture, methods, and ethics of scientific research; and 3) preparation for a future career in which they will be interacting with colleagues coming from a wide range of backgrounds: intellectual, educational, geographical and cultural.The core of the participants' experience will be mentored research within individual research groups. The groups' interests span the range of research in academic physics: from particle physics to biophysics to condensed matter and materials physics to optical physics and photonics. The faculty leading these individual research groups are distinguished scholars at various stages of their careers, but all have experience mentoring undergraduates. Carefully structured plenary activities will complement the individual research experiences by developing skills and competencies important to thriving as students, as researchers, and as professionals in a wide range of potential future careers.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.

这一奖项是对波士顿大学本科生研究体验(REU)网站的再次支持。该网站每年夏天将支持10名来自波士顿大学以外的本科生进行为期10周的不同物理主题的研究。该计划旨在为处于教育关键点的学生提供以物理为基础但与其他物理科学有密切联系的有意义的研究经验，包括电气、机械和计算机工程、材料科学和化学。具体内容包括1)与同行和资深科学家就特定项目进行小组合作的研究经验；2)对科学研究的文化、方法和伦理的指导；3)为未来的职业生涯做准备，在这一职业中，他们将与来自不同背景的同事进行互动：智力、教育、地理和文化。参与者的核心经验将是在个人研究小组中进行指导研究。这些小组的兴趣涵盖学术物理的研究范围：从粒子物理到生物物理，从凝聚态物质和材料物理到光学物理和光子学。领导这些个人研究小组的教师都是处于职业生涯不同阶段的杰出学者，但他们都有指导本科生的经验。精心组织的全体会议活动将通过发展对学生、研究人员和专业人员在广泛的潜在未来职业生涯中的成功至关重要的技能和能力来补充个人的研究经验。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。
