This award provides renewed funding for an REU site at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), College of William and Mary. The site has been funded by NSF since 1989. From 1997-2005, NSF supported 103 interns, of which 40% were from underrepresented groups and 74% were female. This award provides funding to support ten undergraduate students during a 10-week summer research internship. The program will select new students each summer for five years. The internship program focuses on interdisciplinary coastal marine science, particularly processes operating in the local estuarine environment. Research areas available for students include marine ecology, biological and chemical oceanography, biogeochemistry, geological and physical oceanography, marine fisheries, and marine policy. Students receive a stipend, housing and transportation costs to and from VIMS. They are mentored by VIMS faculty while conducting their independent research project, and they are expected to prepare a final paper and give a final oral presentation of their results. This award will provide a total of 50 students with an in-depth independent research experience and training that will help them succeed in scientific careers.

该奖项为弗吉尼亚海洋科学研究所（VIMS），威廉和玛丽学院的REU网站提供了新的资金。该网站自1989年以来一直由NSF资助。从1997年至2005年，国家基金会支助了103名实习生，其中40%来自代表性不足的群体，74%为女性。该奖项提供资金，以支持10名本科生在为期10周的夏季研究实习。该计划将在五年内每年夏天选择新学生。实习计划的重点是跨学科的沿海海洋科学，特别是在当地河口环境中运行的过程。可供学生研究的领域包括海洋生态学，生物和化学海洋学，地球化学，地质和物理海洋学，海洋渔业和海洋政策。学生获得津贴，住房和交通费用，并从VIMS。他们是由VIMS教师指导，同时进行他们的独立研究项目，他们预计将准备一份最后的论文，并给出他们的结果的最后口头陈述。该奖项将为总共50名学生提供深入的独立研究经验和培训，帮助他们在科学生涯中取得成功。
