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. This proposal is collaborative with proposal #02-15497.

该奖项支持在大洛杉矶地区建立 COSEE West，开展多种活动，旨在 1) 提高区域海洋科学意识，2) 利用海洋科学作为提高普通科学素养的工具，3) 增加选择科学和海洋科学职业的学生数量。 这些目标将通过南加州大学和加州大学洛杉矶分校之间的催化性多方面合作以及与洛杉矶县自然历史博物馆和大洛杉矶学区的额外联系来实现。 将与弗吉尼亚州探索学院建立远程学习合作伙伴关系。 活动将包括针对科学教师的广泛专业发展和领导力计划、社区讲座系列、海洋科学网站、大学导师计划和课程开发活动。 COSEE West 有潜力在人口稠密、多元化的主要城市地区加强科学教育。 该计划传达了一个集中的愿景和一系列有趣的计划，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。 由于其重点关注洛杉矶盆地，该 COSEE 中心有可能对大洛杉矶地区学区的科学教育产生重大影响。该提案与提案 #02-15497 合作。
