This $398,029 National Science Foundation project grant will fund the establishment of a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Kansas from March 2022 through February 2025. The REU site will expose ten undergraduate participants each summer to research in astronomy, astroparticle physics, high energy theory, and condensed matter theory and experiment. Participants will gain hands-on research experience through short-term mentored projects and have the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) provides $350,000 to support a 3-year Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site hosted by Old Dominion University (ODU) in partnership with Jefferson Lab. The REU site will provide 10 undergraduate students per summer with 10 weeks of research experience in accelerator and nuclear physics. The students will be housed at Jefferson Lab...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Division of Materials Research, has awarded a $388,404 Project Grant to Georgetown University to operate an Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site focused on materials physics research. Over a 3-year period from September 2024 to August 2027, the program will provide 9 undergraduates from diverse backgrounds and institutions with a 10-week summer research experience. Students will engage in experimental, computational, and...
