Participants, selected...
- This $398,029 National Science Foundation project grant will fund the establishment of a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Kansas from March 2022 through February 2025. The REU site will expose ten undergraduate participants each summer to research in astronomy, astroparticle physics, high energy theory, and condensed matter theory and experiment. Participants will gain hands-on research experience through short-term mentored projects and have the...
The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded The Regents of the University of Colorado $265,000 on August 1, 2026, to support the renewal of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Colorado/JILA under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The award funds an eight-student-per-year, ten-week summer research program in physics. Undergraduates are paired with faculty to conduct cutting-edge research across atomic, molecular, and optical physics, biophysics, condensed matter physics, high energy physics, nuclear physics, plasma physics, quantum physics, quantum information science, artificial intelligence, and physics education research. Beyond individual lab work, the program includes ethics and electronics classes, machining instruction, guidance on graduate school admissions, neural networks and machine learning tutorials, lab tours, and weekly science seminars. The program concludes with student presentations. Special recruitment efforts target undergraduates from smaller institutions with limited research opportunities. Performance occurs in Boulder, Colorado, with a period of performance extending through July 31, 2028. The award supports NSF's objective of developing an internationally competitive scientific and engineering workforce; the program is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program. No subawards are planned.
