Ocean Sciences Meeting Support for OCE REU Students

该奖项为威斯康星大学密尔沃基大学五大湖研究中心(CGLS)的本科生研究体验(REU)相关项目提供了新的资金。该计划将支持每年18名REU学生(每个OCE资助的REU站点约一名)参加美国湖泊和海洋学学会(ASLO)从2005-2007年间每年的冬季会议。前一年夏天在OCE资助的REU站点完成研究项目的学生可以通过该计划申请支持。每个REU网站的负责人被要求从他们的网站提名最多三名学生。每名被选中参加该项目的学生将获得机票和班车费用、注册、住宿、每日餐费、一张颁奖午宴或类似活动的门票，以及一年的ASLO会员资格。学生们将准备好参加国际学生联合会的会议，并将在面向本科生的海报会议上展示他们的研究成果。该项目将使超过54名本科生更好地了解专业海洋学社区是如何运作的，并为他们提供许多在海洋科学领域进一步发展的机会。

This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) related program at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee's Center for Great Lakes Studies (CGLS). The program will support 18 REU students (approximately one from each OCE-funded REU site) per year to attend the American Society for Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) winter meetings each year from 2005-2007. Students who have completed research projects the prior summer at OCE-funded REU sites may apply for support via the program. The Directors of each REU site are requested to nominate up to three students from their site. Each student selected for the program will receive air and shuttle bus fare, registration, room, per diem meal expenses, a ticket to the Award Luncheon or similar event, and one year of membership in ASLO. Students will be prepared for participation in the meeting by the PI's and will present the results of their research in a poster session for undergraduates. This program will allow over fifty-four undergraduates to gain a better understanding of how the professional oceanographic community works and gives them many opportunities to further their career in ocean sciences.
