REU Site: Astronomy and Atmospheric Science at MIT Haystack Observatory

该奖项支持麻省理工学院和干草堆天文台的天文学和大气科学本科生（REU）和教师（RET）研究经验网站。该项目将为来自全国各地的本科生和教师提供机会，积极参与天文学、大地测量学和大气科学许多领域的前沿研究。项目参与者将在夏季与个别教师和/或天文台工作人员一起进行为期10周的重点研究项目。该项目强调参与者对研究过程的端到端接触。许多学生将成为发表在科学期刊上的文章的共同作者。就教育活动而言，REU/RET站点的性质会产生更广泛的影响。为了帮助扩大该计划的多样性，波多黎各境内的学生和教师也将能够通过与Ana G. Mendez大学系统内的大学合作参与该计划。

This award supports the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) and Teachers (RET) Site in Astronomy and Atmospheric Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Haystack Observatory. The program will provide opportunities for undergraduate students and teachers from around the country to actively engage in front-line research in many areas of astronomy, geodesy, and atmospheric science. Program participants will work with individual faculty members and/or observatory staff on focused research projects that last 10 weeks during the summer. The program emphasizes an end-to-end exposure to the research process for the participants. Many of the students will become co-authors on articles published in scientific journals. The very nature of an REU/RET site results in a broader impact, in terms of educational activities. To help broaden the diversity of this program, student and teachers from within Puerto Rico will also be able to participate in this program through a collaboration with Universities within the Ana G. Mendez University System.
