A Request for Planning Funds for a Research and Study Abroad Facility in Geneva, Switzerland in Affiliation with the European Laboratory for Particle Physics

该奖项支持一个规划项目，以开发一个“研究和出国留学计划”，使美国本科生能够进入欧洲核研究组织（CERN），世界卫生组织和总部设在瑞士日内瓦的联合国的各种业务的世界领先的研究设施。 一个设施的设想是容纳大约60名美国学生在更大的日内瓦社区，为他们提供适当的监督和安全，提供一个结构，为他们返回美国机构的课程学分，他们在这些设施的尖端数据收集和分析工作的参与，并为任何批准的课程，他们在国外的研究和实地考察期间。 根据CERN REU计划的经验，预计学生将以真实的和有意义的方式为CERN正在进行的研究计划做出贡献，并扩展到世界卫生组织和总部设在日内瓦的其他机构。

This award supports a planning project to develop a "Research and Study Abroad Program" to avail U.S. undergraduate students access to the world-leading research facilities at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the World Health Organization and the various operations of the United Nations based in Geneva, Switzerland. A facility is envisioned to house approximately sixty American students in the greater Geneva community, to provide them with proper supervision and security, to provide a structure for repatriating to their U.S. institutes course credit for their participation in cutting-edge data collection and analysis efforts at these facilities, and for any approved courses they take during their research and field study abroad period. It is expected, based on the experience of the CERN REU program, that the students will contribute in real and meaningful ways to the research program underway at CERN, and by extension, to the World Health Organization and other institutions based in Geneva.
