This award provides funding for a new REU site to be located at the Duke University Marine Laboratory (DUML) in Beaufort, NC. The PI will recruit eight students each summer. Students will have a choice of 12 advisors in the general research areas of (1) sensory physiology and behavior, (2) environmental toxicology, (3) genetics, and (4) coastal and estuarine processes. The DUML is located on Pivers Island in coastal Carteret County of North Carolina. Pivers Island is part of the Newport River estuary and is about 2 km from the ocean via Beaufort Inlet. Coastal and estuarine invertebrate species and a variety of habitats (marshes, mudflats, sand flats, beaches, creeks, channels, open ocean) are readily available for student research projects. The Marine Laboratory is home to the 135 foot R/V Cape Hatteras, as well as a 42 foot research trawler (Susan Hudson), plus skiffs and canoes. Facilities of the Marine Laboratory, including dormitories, laboratories and classrooms, and the dining hall, are ADA compliant. The program is open to all students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents, but recruiting efforts for this REU Site will focus on students who are majoring in science and who are rising juniors and seniors attending the 35 schools that are affiliated with the Marine Laboratory in the Marine Sciences Educational Consortium.

该奖项为位于北卡罗来纳州博福特的杜克大学海洋实验室（DUML）的新REU站点提供资金。PI每年夏天将招收8名学生。学生将有12个顾问在一般研究领域的选择（1）感官生理学和行为，（2）环境毒理学，（3）遗传学，和（4）沿海和河口过程。DUML位于北卡罗来纳州沿海卡特雷特县的皮弗斯岛。皮弗斯岛是纽波特河口的一部分，通过博福特湾距离海洋约2公里。沿海和河口无脊椎动物物种和各种栖息地（沼泽、泥滩、沙滩、海滩、小溪、水道、公海）随时可供学生研究项目使用。海洋实验室是135英尺的R/V Cape Hatteras，以及42英尺的研究拖网渔船（Susan哈德逊），以及小艇和独木舟的所在地。海洋实验室的设施，包括宿舍、实验室和教室，以及食堂，都符合ADA标准。该计划向所有美国公民或永久居民的学生开放，但REU网站的招聘工作将侧重于科学专业的学生，以及参加海洋科学教育联盟海洋实验室附属的35所学校的大三和大四学生。
