This award provides renewed funding for the Center for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence - Gulf of Mexico (COSEE-GOM) with administrative offices located at the University of Southern Mississippi's Marine Education Center and Aquarium in Biloxi, MS. The proposal includes subcontracts to Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium, Dauphin Island Sea Lab in Alabama, Mississippi State University, and the University of Florida. COSEE-GOM makes extensive use of the expertise of regional marine educators as interpreters of ocean and coastal marine science research. PI's will provide a variety of professional development institutes for formal and informal educators and will evaluate the effectiveness of these efforts. Professional development institutes include a two day workshop for researchers and informal educators, a five-day workshop for teachers and researchers followed by ten days of interactive website instruction, and a "Teachers-to-Sea" opportunity for teachers to work with a variety of research equipment while aboard a cruise on the U.S. Navy's Hydrographic Survey ships. Institutes will be held in each state on a bi-annual basis. Funding for this project is provided by the NSF Division of Ocean Sciences and by the NSF EPSCOR program.

该奖项为墨西哥湾海洋科学教育卓越中心(COSEE-GOM)提供了新的资金，该中心的行政办公室设在南密西西比大学的海洋教育中心和比洛克西的水族馆，该提案包括路易斯安那大学海洋联盟、阿拉巴马州多芬岛海洋实验室、密西西比州立大学和佛罗里达大学的分包合同。COSEE-GOM广泛利用区域海洋教育者的专业知识，作为海洋和沿海海洋科学研究的解释者。私人学校将为正规和非正规教育工作者提供各种专业发展机构，并将评估这些努力的成效。专业发展机构包括为研究人员和非正式教育工作者举办的为期两天的研讨会，为教师和研究人员举办的为期五天的研讨会，然后是为期十天的互动网站教学，以及为教师提供的“教师出海”机会，让他们在美国海军水文测量船的邮轮上使用各种研究设备。学院将在每个州每两年举行一次。该项目的资金由NSF海洋科学部和NSF EPSCoR计划提供。
