This award will provide funds to the Department of Natural Sciences at South Carolina State College to establish a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) SITE. The focus of the program will be to expand the independent research capabilities of primarily minority undergraduate science majors, provide interactive opportunities for REU students with career research scientists, and to stimulate and prepare students for successful graduate studies and research careers. Research projects will be unified around an aquatic ecology theme, but students will have great flexibility in choosing projects. The locations of cooperating institutions; the Marine Resources Research Institute (MRRI) adjacent to coastal estuarine systems not far from the Edisto River mouth and the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL) further inland near upper coastal plain habitats will provide students with a comprehensive picture of the kinds of research taking place along the length of an entire river system. Additional training benefits to students will be derived from a series of ecological excursions guided by off-site career researchers in cooperation with SREL and MRRI. This will not only help students improve their concepts of ecosystem interactions, but also provide for increased awareness of career options and graduate studies through interactions with host scientists. A guest researcher seminar series will be held at SCSC to introduce students to outside researchers and students will present seminars of their findings.

该奖项将为自然科学部提供资金 在南卡罗来纳州州立大学建立一个研究经验 本科生（REU）网站。 该计划的重点将是 扩大主要是独立研究能力， 少数民族本科理科专业，提供互动 REU学生与职业研究科学家的机会，以及 激励和准备学生成功的研究生学习 和研究事业。 研究项目将围绕一个 水生生态主题，但学生将有很大的灵活性， 选择项目。 合作机构的地点; 海洋资源研究所（MRRI）毗邻沿海 河口系统不远处的Edisto河口和 萨凡纳河生态实验室（SREL）进一步内陆附近的上 沿海平原栖息地将为学生提供一个全面的 这幅图片展示了沿着 整个河流系统。 对学生的额外培训好处 将来自一系列的生态游览， 与SREL和MRRI合作的场外职业研究人员。 这不仅可以帮助学生提高他们的概念， 生态系统的相互作用，但也提供了提高认识， 职业选择和研究生学习的互动， 接待科学家。 将举办客座研究员系列研讨会 在SCSC向学生介绍外部研究人员和学生 将在研讨会上介绍他们的发现。
