This award provides funding for a new Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at Savannah State University to be called "Bridge to Research in Marine Sciences: A Summer REU Program in Savannah, Georgia". The program will support eight to ten students during a seven week summer research program. Savannah State University along with its local partners the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography (SkIO), Georgia Tech, and Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary in Savannah (GRNMS), Georgia have research environments that are well-equipped and staffed to provide intellectual merit in student research projects. Student recruitment will focus on freshmen and sophomores from HBCU's and small non-research colleges and universities. The first two weeks of the program will focus primarily on whole-group activities including short courses and workshops in marine science, statistics, technical writing, experimental design and ethics, guest lectures, field trips, and visits to marine laboratories in the Georgia/South Carolina coastal region. The second part will consist of a research cruise on an oceanographic vessel (UNOLS, R/V Savannah), and the third phase will involve four weeks of research capped with a student research seminar. Student deliverables will include a log/journal, formal written research report, a seminar presentation and a completed program evaluation form. It will include independent research projects by the students, participation in a semi-weekly summer lecture series on topics like scientific writing, science careers, ethics and data visualization. The program will conclude with a written report and student poster presentations. This program is mainly field-based, but students will have access to global databases and excellent computer equipment. Students will be encouraged to publish in peer-reviewed journals and participate in national conferences following the summer research program.

该奖项为萨凡纳州立大学的一项新的本科生研究体验(REU)计划提供资金，该计划将被称为“通向海洋科学研究的桥梁：佐治亚州萨凡纳的夏季REU计划”。该项目将在为期七周的暑期研究项目中支持8到10名学生。萨凡纳州立大学及其当地合作伙伴斯基德韦海洋研究所(SKIO)、佐治亚理工学院和佐治亚州萨凡纳的格雷珊瑚礁国家海洋保护区(GRNMS)拥有设备齐全、人员配备齐全的研究环境，为学生的研究项目提供智力优势。招生将集中在HBCU和小型非研究型学院和大学的一年级和二年级学生。该计划的头两周将主要集中于整个小组的活动，包括海洋科学、统计学、技术写作、实验设计和伦理、客座讲座、实地考察和参观佐治亚州/南卡罗来纳州沿海地区的海洋实验室的短期课程和研讨会。第二部分将包括一艘海洋船(联合国日内瓦办事处，R/V Savannah)上的研究巡航，第三阶段将包括为期四周的研究，以学生研究研讨会为结束。学生的作业将包括一份日志/日记、正式的书面研究报告、一份研讨会报告和一份完整的项目评估表。它将包括学生的独立研究项目，参加每半周一次的夏季系列讲座，主题包括科学写作、科学职业、伦理学和数据可视化。该计划将以书面报告和学生海报演示结束。该项目主要是实地考察，但学生将有机会接触到全球数据库和优秀的计算机设备。学生将被鼓励在同行评议的期刊上发表文章，并参加暑期研究计划后的全国会议。
