This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $465,071 to the SETI Institute for a REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) site focused on astronomy, astrobiology, and planetary science. Through this 3-year project from March 2025 to August 2027, undergraduate students will conduct research with SETI Institute scientists on topics such as exoplanets, asteroids, Mars, Saturn's rings, and astrobiology. The program aims to develop students' research methods and analytical skills to increase the nationwide pool of scientists and engineers. Key activities include pairing students with researchers, a weekly journal club, group meetings, final research presentations, and field trips to the Allen Telescope Array and Lassen Volcanic National Park.
