Physicists Inspiring the Next Generation: Exploring the Nuclear Matter (PING) is a program that targets both pre-college students and undergraduate students (who serve as mentors). PING dates TBD, at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB).

PING 2024 is a two-week experience in nuclear physics at FRIB with the potential to turn into a year-long real research experience. During this time, students will present their work at the National Society of Black Physicists and the American Physical Society Division of Nuclear Physics conferences. Students also work closely with the MoNA Collaboration.

PING was launched in 2014 as a collaboration between the National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP) and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in partnership with Associated Universities, Inc.
