The National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences is funding a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site renewal at UC Berkeley's Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Research Center through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). This $374,521 project grant, awarded May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2028, provides a 10-week summer research program for eight undergraduate interns annually. The primary products and services delivered include transformative research experiences and mentorship that prepare students as scientists, technologists, and leaders while advancing SETI science and broader astronomical research capabilities. Under the Breakthrough Listen Initiative, student participants develop tangible research outputs including open-source tools, data pipelines, visualizations, and documentation actively used by the scientific community. Students work on petabyte-scale datasets to develop scientific approaches for constraining technosignatures, design new radio telescope instruments and digital backends, and develop algorithms utilizing machine learning to identify candidate signals and quantify radio frequency interference. Additional deliverables include efforts to make complex astronomical data accessible to both the scientific community and general public through citizen science initiatives and data accessibility projects. No subawards are planned for this award.Federal Grant Award Summary
