This grant will fund the establishment of an Undergraduate              Research Participation Site at the Space Physics Research                       Laboratory of the University of Michigan.  The Space Physics                    Research Laboratory is a broad interdisciplinary research                       organization which is part of the Atmospheric and Oceanic                       Sciences academic department of the University of Michigan.                     Research undertaken in the laboratory spans several fields of                   engineering and geophysical sciences, with an emphasis on the                   observation and understanding of the physical processes which                   control the gaseous, plasma and liquid envelopes of the Earth and               planetary bodies.  The annual research budget of the laboratory                 is ~$8M and major funding comes from the National Science                       Foundation and NASA as well as other agencies.  Because of the                  strong ties to the academic environment at the University, and                  its presence within a geosciences department in the College of                  Engineering, the Space Physics Research Laboratory has always                   maintained an active interest in providing significant                          undergraduate and graduate research opportunities, particularly                 in the areas of Solar-Terrestrial research and Aeronomy.  This                  grant will expand to consolidate the undergraduate involvement by               initiating support for an REU (Research Experiences for                         Undergraduates) site within the Laboratory.  The REU site will                  involve the direct participation of 8 faculty members who have                  all had previous experience with the training of undergraduate                  students in research.  Support will be provided for 16 students,                of whom half will be from institutions other than the University                of Michigan.  Because of its commitment of high-quality                         undergraduate education, the University has agreed to waive this.               The rich variety and significance of the research carried out                   within the Laboratory and the commitment of time on the part of                 the faculty participants will provide the undergraduates of the                 program a significant opportunity to have hands-on experience in                active and exciting research areas.                                                     This REU program will provide an important opportunity to               attract and motivate talented individuals at a critical time in                 their development.  It is fully anticipated that some of the                    undergraduate participants in the program will become                           sufficiently interested in exciting areas of research in                        geoscience that they will go on to pursue graduate studies,                     either at the University of Michigan itself, or at other                        universities.
