This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program, will support an eight-week Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site focused on mathematics and physics at Marshall University in Huntington, WV. The $164,337 award will enable a cohort of 10 undergraduate students per year from 2024 to 2026 to conduct research projects and attend an undergraduate research conference. The program aims to: 1) recruit at least 50% of participants from universities in the Appalachian region, 2) develop participants' communication and collaboration skills in STEM fields, 3) produce high-quality research across mathematics and physics topics, 4) help participants secure STEM-adjacent careers or attend graduate school, and 5) ensure at least 40% of participants pursue graduate studies or work in the Appalachian region. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
