This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $273,270 to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA) to support a 10-week Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program in optical-infrared astronomy at NOIRLAB facilities in Chile. The project will engage six undergraduate students per year to conduct meaningful research projects under the supervision of NOIRLAB's scientific staff, providing them hands-on experience with state-of-the-art telescopes and instrumentation. The students will also participate in cultural activities and professional development training. This award aims to broadly recruit students, especially from institutions that do not commonly offer research opportunities, to advance their knowledge and interests in astrophysics. The project period runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027.
