This award provides renewed funding for a program that takes undergraduate students to American Society for Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) and American Geophysical Union (AGU) meetings in the semester following their participation in an OCE-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. The proposed program will continue to support 22 REU students (about one from each OCE-funded REU Site) per year to attend the Ocean Science winter meetings for three years. Each student will receive air- and shuttle bus fare, registration, room, per diem meal expenses, ticket to the Award Luncheon or similar official event, and one year of membership in ASLO and AGU. The opportunity is open to all REU students and encourages underrepresented disciplines (e.g., physical, chemical, and geological oceanography, modeling). The students will be prepared for meeting navigation and then allowed to pursue their own goals with freedom to engage in hallway discussions, lunch and dinner meetings, and all the other non-session aspects that make our meetings so productive. Several planned events will enhance the networking aspects of their experience. Daily meetings at the end of sessions will provide for feedback and interaction. This format relieves initial social-professional pressure and leads to mutually-beneficial associations with active scientists at the precise time the students are seeking their next big career step. In addition, this program develops an infrastructure for undergraduate research dissemination (a poster session and informal meeting) that is open to all undergraduates who are attending the meeting. It has developed high visibility with the professional attendees, providing invaluable networking and recruitment opportunities for students and professional scientists alike. This award promotes the development of the ocean sciences workforce by providing an opportunity for undergraduates to network with faculty at graduate schools across the nation.

该奖项为参加oce资助的本科生研究经历（REU）项目的本科生在学期内参加美国湖沼学与海洋学学会（ASLO）和美国地球物理联合会（AGU）会议的项目提供了新的资助。该计划将继续支持每年22名REU学生（每个oce资助的REU站点约1名）参加为期三年的海洋科学冬季会议。每位学生将获得机票和接送车费、注册费、住宿费、每日餐费、颁奖午餐会或类似官方活动的门票，以及ASLO和AGU一年的会员资格。机会对所有REU学生开放，并鼓励代表性不足的学科（例如，物理，化学和地质海洋学，建模）。学生们将为会议导航做好准备，然后允许他们自由地追求自己的目标，参与走廊讨论，午餐和晚餐会议，以及所有其他使我们的会议如此富有成效的非会议方面。几项计划中的活动将增强他们在网络方面的经验。会议结束时的每日会议将提供反馈和互动。这种形式减轻了最初的社会职业压力，并在学生们寻求下一个重大职业发展的时候，与活跃的科学家建立了互利的联系。此外，该计划还为本科生研究传播（海报会议和非正式会议）开发了一个基础设施，对所有参加会议的本科生开放。它在专业与会者中具有很高的知名度，为学生和专业科学家提供了宝贵的网络和招聘机会。该奖项通过为本科生提供与全国研究生院教师建立联系的机会，促进了海洋科学工作队伍的发展。
