The National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded $457,927 to the Research Foundation of The City University of New York (RFCUNY), operating as Queensborough Community College, to establish a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site in Physics and Astronomy. The award, effective May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2029, funds a program under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program that provides research opportunities for up to twelve community college undergraduate students annually. The program delivers structured research experiences across diverse physics and astronomy topics including black holes, biophysics, cosmic ray detection, X-ray spectroscopy, and planetary science, enabling students with no prior research experience to develop competencies in computational methods, data analysis, and experimental design. The REU Site provides participants with comprehensive training in advanced research methodologies, including computational skill development in big data analysis, artificial intelligence tools, simulation modeling, and hands-on detector construction with regional partner institutions throughout the New York vicinity. Complementing core research activities, the program offers professional development and mentorship designed to prepare community college students for successful transfer to four-year STEM institutions and competitive entry into STEM careers. The initiative addresses a critical educational gap by expanding research participation opportunities to underrepresented student populations at community colleges, thereby strengthening the nation's science and technology workforce pipeline.Federal Grant Award Summary
