This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, funds the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association. The $230,639 grant, awarded on June 1, 2024, will support the REU program annually for two years until May 31, 2026. The program provides six undergraduate students per year the opportunity to perform state-of-the-art data analysis using astronomical observations from space- and ground-based telescopes. Student research projects will cover topics such as star and galaxy formation, large-scale structure of the universe, cosmology, and star clusters. This REU program is expected to have a significant impact on the research capabilities and career development of participating undergraduate students, many of whom are women, by enhancing their skills in scientific research, presentation, and proposal writing. The funding will contribute to developing a talented STEM workforce in the United States.
