This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site that will host a total of ten students during twelve weeks of summer research each year for two years. Students will be working with researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) located in Woods Hole, MA. Students will also participate in a series of seminars and workshops exploring issues related to marine science. The program recruits juniors and senior undergraduate students nationwide. These students are able to pursue research in a broad range of marine science, environmental science and marine engineering fields. WHOI provides significant matching funding in this proposal. The program has an excellent record of success with past groups of students. The number of scientists involved in the program and potential research projects for students is excellent. The proposal 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 selected for participation in this program gain a significant appreciation for the scientific process and often pursue a career in a scientific field.

该奖项为本科生研究体验（REU）网站提供了新的资金，该网站将在两年的时间里每年接待10名学生进行为期12周的夏季研究。学生们将与位于马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的伍兹霍尔海洋学研究所（WHOI）的研究人员一起工作。学生还将参加一系列探讨海洋科学相关问题的研讨会和讲习班。该计划在全国范围内招收大三和大四本科生。这些学生能够从事广泛的海洋科学、环境科学和海洋工程领域的研究。WHOI在本提案中提供了大量配套资金。该项目在过去的学生群体中有着良好的成功记录。参与该计划和潜在研究项目的科学家数量非常多。该提案基于这样一种理论，即指导和网络是招募学生进入专业领域和培训年轻研究人员的最有效方法。被选中参加这个项目的学生对科学过程有了很大的了解，并经常在科学领域从事职业。
