The University of Maryland Eastern Shore REU Site will provide a research program for undergraduates during the summers of 2009-2011. Eight students, particularly rising sophomores, will be selected each year to participate in an intensive 10-week research program in marine and estuarine science. Students will be offered a broad range of mentorship in disciplines ranging from environmental chemistry to fish ecology. Students will receive a stipend, free housing and board at the University and supply money for conducting research with a faculty mentor. The program is supported with funds from the National Science Foundation Directorate of Biological Sciences, in partnership with the Division of Ocean Sciences. In addition to research, weekly workshops will be conducted to train students in writing a research proposal, analyzing data, scientific ethics, and various contemporary topics such as global climate change. The workshops will be led by experts at the University or with NOAA. Apart from weekly workshops, REU interns will also participate in field trips involving canoeing along the pristine Pocomoke River, and hiking through an internationally recognized wetland on the lower eastern shore of Maryland. At the end of the summer, REU interns will present research they have conducted with their faculty mentors during a symposium that will be held at the Paul S. Sarbanes Coastal Ecology Center. Interns will prepare a short report of their research which will be culminated into a publication of symposium proceedings. Students with limited opportunities for research, particularly in coastal systems, and from groups under-represented in science are particularly encouraged to apply.

马里兰州东海岸REU网站的大学将在2009年至2011年夏季为本科生提供一个研究计划。每年将选出八名学生，特别是正在崛起的学生，参加为期10周的海洋和河口科学密集研究项目。 学生将获得从环境化学到鱼类生态学等学科的广泛指导。 学生将获得助学金，免费住房和董事会在大学和供应资金进行研究与教师导师。 该计划由国家科学基金会生物科学理事会与海洋科学部合作资助。 除了研究之外，每周还将举办研讨会，培训学生撰写研究提案，分析数据，科学道德以及全球气候变化等各种当代主题。 这些讲习班将由该大学的专家或海洋大气署的专家主持。 除了每周的讲习班外，REU实习生还将参加实地考察，包括沿着原始的波科莫克河划独木舟，以及徒步穿越马里兰州下东海岸的一个国际公认的湿地。 在夏季结束时，REU实习生将提出他们与他们的教师导师在研讨会期间进行的研究，将在保罗S。萨班斯海岸生态中心。 实习生将编写一份简短的研究报告，最后出版一份研讨会记录。 特别鼓励研究机会有限的学生，特别是在沿海系统，以及来自科学代表性不足的群体的学生申请。 有关REU实习的更多信息，请访问www.umes.edu/lmrcsc/reu，或联系项目主任Paulinus Chigbu博士，电话：[phone]，电子邮件：[e-mail]，或项目协调员Joseph Love博士，电话：[phone]或电子邮件：[e-mail]。
