This award provides funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site that will host a total of fourteen students per summer during twelve weeks of summer research. The REU program is based on the theory that mentoring and networking are the most effective methods for recruiting students into a profession and for training young researchers. Students will be working with researchers at one of three estuarine and coastal research sites, including Horn Point Laboratory (HPL), Chesapeake Biological Laboratory (CBL) and the Academy of Natural Science Estuarine Research Center (ANSERC). Organizers of the program have four main goals including, 1) to foster a close student-mentor relationship 2) to have students develop and complete a scientific project, 3) to have students communicate their scientific findings, 4) to ensure students understand ethical issues involved in scientific research. Matching funding is provided by the Maryland Seagrant Program (MSGP).

该奖项为本科生（REU）网站的研究经验提供资金，该网站将在12周的夏季研究期间每年夏季共接待14名学生。REU计划的理论基础是，指导和网络是招募学生进入专业和培训年轻研究人员的最有效方法。学生将与三个河口和沿海研究地点之一的研究人员合作，包括霍恩角实验室（HPL），切萨皮克生物实验室（CBL）和自然科学院河口研究中心（ANSERC）。该计划的组织者有四个主要目标，包括：1）培养密切的学生-导师关系2）让学生开发和完成科学项目，3）让学生交流他们的科学发现，4）确保学生了解科学研究中涉及的伦理问题。匹配资金由马里兰州西格兰特计划（MSGP）提供。
