This award provides funding for a summer internship program at University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) located in Narragansett, RI. This program has been active since 1986 and is called the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships in Oceanography (SURFO). Nine students/summer will participate in an eleven week research/education program that allows them to conduct independent research projects. The program aims to expose students who are majoring in math, physics, computer science and engineering to aspects of oceanographic research, and normally recruits rising Juniors with strong computational skills. Students receive one-on-one research instruction from a faculty mentor. They participate in a variety of educational activities, including an orientation session, a seminar series, field trips and several professional development workshops. At the end of the summer, students prepare both an oral and a written presentation on their research.

该奖项为位于罗德岛大学海洋学研究生院（GSO）的暑期实习计划提供了资金。该计划自1986年以来一直活跃，被称为海洋学（Surfo）的夏季本科研究奖学金。九个学生/夏季将参加一个11周的研究/教育计划，使他们能够开展独立的研究项目。该计划旨在使专业的数学，物理，计算机科学和工程学专业的学生接触到海洋学研究的各个方面，并且通常会招募具有较强计算能力的大三学生。 学生从教师导师那里获得一对一的研究指导。 他们参加了各种教育活动，包括定向课程，研讨会系列，实地考察和几个专业发展研讨会。 夏季结束时，学生们在研究上准备了口头和书面演讲。
