This award provides funding for a new Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences (BLOS). Bigelow is a small research laboratory located in West Boothbay Harbor, ME. The BLOS faculty have expertise in ocean chemistry, optics, biology, ecology, geology and physics. The lab has state-of-the-art tools for flow cytometry, EM microscopy, PCR and neurophysiology. The REU program includes funding for eight students per summer for a total of three years. Students will learn about the fundamentals of the scientific process including how to form testable hypotheses, critically evaluate data and present information in a scientific manner. Mentor-guided programs will include individual research, experimentation and/or field work and compiling and evaluating data. As part of their projects students will have opportunities to scuba dive, participate in ocean cruises or sample directly from the Bigelow Pier. The program will be open to applicants from around the country, and a primary recruitment goal is to attract underrepresented students such as Native American to participate in Marine Science research.

该奖项为毕格罗海洋科学实验室（BLOS）的本科生新研究经验（REU）计划提供资金。毕格罗是一个小型研究实验室，位于西布斯贝港，ME。BLOS教师在海洋化学，光学，生物学，生态学，地质学和物理学方面的专业知识。该实验室拥有最先进的流式细胞术、EM显微镜、PCR和神经生理学工具。REU计划包括每年夏天为八名学生提供资金，为期三年。学生将学习科学过程的基本原理，包括如何形成可检验的假设，批判性地评估数据并以科学的方式呈现信息。导师指导计划将包括个人研究，实验和/或实地工作，以及汇编和评估数据。作为项目的一部分，学生将有机会进行水肺潜水，参加海洋游轮或直接从毕格罗码头取样。该计划将向来自全国各地的申请人开放，主要招聘目标是吸引代表性不足的学生，如美洲原住民参加海洋科学研究。
