This award provides funding to initiate a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Maine's Darling Marine Center. The two-year pilot program will sponsor six to eight undergraduate students in an eleven-week internship that includes seminars and a research project. Mentors chosen by the students will help the students formulate and conduct a research project. Students will receive instruction in scientific methodology and related skills that are common to all fields of science (hypothesis formulation and testing, elementary statistics, experimental and sampling design, scientific writing, and data presentation). They will also participate in a seminar focussed on careers in marine science and will present results of their research at the end of the program. The program is open to all U.S. citizens and permanent residents attending any college or university. Applications from women and under-represented minorities are particularly encouraged. Matching funds from the University of Maine are also included in this proposal.

该奖项为缅因大学达令海洋中心的本科生研究经历（REU）项目提供资金。这个为期两年的试点项目将资助6至8名本科生进行为期11周的实习，其中包括研讨会和一个研究项目。由学生选择的导师将帮助学生制定和实施一个研究项目。学生将接受科学方法论和相关技能的指导，这些技能适用于所有科学领域（假设制定和检验、基础统计学、实验和抽样设计、科学写作和数据展示）。他们还将参加一个以海洋科学职业为重点的研讨会，并在课程结束时展示他们的研究成果。该计划向所有就读任何学院或大学的美国公民和永久居民开放。特别鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的申请。来自缅因大学的配套资金也包括在本提案中。
