This award provides support to establish a COSEE West in the greater Los Angeles area with a diverse mix of activities aimed at 1) enhancing regional awareness of ocean sciences, 2) using ocean science as a vehicle to increase general science literacy and 3) increasing the number of students who choose science and ocean science careers. These goals will be addressed by through catalytic, multi-faceted collaboration between the University of Southern California and the University of California at Los Angeles with additional links to the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History and the greater Los Angeles school districts. A distance learning partnership will be established with the College of Exploration in Virginia. Activities will include an extensive professional development and leadership program for science teachers, a community lecture series, an ocean science web site, a college mentorship program and curriculum development activities. COSEE West has the potential to enhance science education in a densely populated and diverse major urban area. The program conveys a focused vision and a set of interesting plans for incorporating ocean scientists and their research results into classrooms, informal education activities and public outreach. Because of its focus on the LA basin, this COSEE Center has the potential to have a major impact on science education in school districts within the greater Los Angeles area.

该奖项为在大洛杉矶地区建立COSEE西部提供支持，并开展各种活动，旨在1）提高区域对海洋科学的认识，2）利用海洋科学作为提高一般科学素养的工具，3）增加选择科学和海洋科学职业的学生人数。 这些目标将通过南加州大学和洛杉矶的加州大学之间的催化性多方面合作来实现，并与洛杉矶县自然历史博物馆和更大的洛杉矶学区建立额外的联系。 将与弗吉尼亚州的探索学院建立远程学习伙伴关系。 活动将包括一个广泛的专业发展和科学教师的领导计划，一个社区讲座系列，一个海洋科学网站，一个大学导师计划和课程开发活动。 COSEE West有潜力在人口密集和多样化的主要城市地区加强科学教育。 该计划传达了一个有重点的愿景和一套有趣的计划，将海洋科学家及其研究成果纳入课堂，非正式教育活动和公共宣传。 由于其重点放在洛杉矶盆地，这个COSEE中心有可能对大洛杉矶地区的学区科学教育产生重大影响。
