This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides funding of $204,017 to the University of South Carolina (USC) to support an Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site in physics. The 3-year award engages 10 undergraduate students per year for 10 weeks in a variety of physics research projects, including particle, nuclear, condensed matter, theoretical, and computational physics. Students will participate in state-of-the-art research with faculty mentors, gaining hands-on experience in areas like quantum gravity, materials engineering, nanotechnology, and particle physics. The grant will also support supplemental group activities, presentations, field trips, and social events to enrich the undergraduate research experience. No subawards are planned under this grant.
