This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site in Physics and Astronomy at Louisiana State University. The $400,000 award, effective May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2028, aims to foster interest in scientific careers by introducing students to research-oriented work in physics and astronomy. REU participants will be matched with faculty mentors to join active research projects, such as analyzing data from neutrino oscillation and gravitational wave experiments, designing quantum error correction codes, and searching for exoplanets. Weekly seminars and workshops will also provide skills development, introduce research resources, and cover professional topics. The program recruits students nationally and houses them on-campus to promote community engagement. This award reflects NSF's mission to support STEM education initiatives that enhance undergraduate research experiences and broaden participation in scientific fields.
