REU Site for Oregon Marine Science: From upper estuaries to the deep sea.

该奖项为俄勒冈州州立大学的本科生研究经验（REU）计划提供了新的资金。该计划将在为期十周的夏季研究计划中支持18名学生/年，其中9名实习生位于俄勒冈州海岸的纽波特哈特菲尔德海洋科学中心（HMSC），俄勒冈州和9名实习生在科瓦利斯的OSU主校区的海洋与大气科学学院（COAS）。这个REU网站的主要领域被广泛定义为海洋科学，从不同的生物和生态主题（集中在HMSC）到物理科学（物理，地质，化学和COAS大气科学的海洋方面）。REU计划的主要目标是：i）为学生提供体验海洋科学研究的机会，并了解其跨学科性质; ii）为学生提供独特的教育机会和接触广泛的海洋科学; iii）增加参与和获得海洋研究代表性不足的群体。实习生指导研究项目，要求报告和口头陈述，并鼓励在区域或国家会议上发言。其他活动包括系列研讨会、实地采样、与研究生和相关实习生项目的互动、职业发展培训、科学伦理讨论和交流，以了解在俄勒冈州不同环境中进行的其他跨学科研究。

This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at Oregon State University. The program will support eighteen students/year during a ten week summer research program with 9 interns located on the Oregon coast at Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) in Newport, Oregon and 9 interns in the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences (COAS) at the main OSU campus in Corvallis. The major field for this REU site is broadly defined as marine science, ranging from diverse biological and ecological topics (focused at HMSC) through the physical sciences (marine aspects of physics, geology, chemistry, and atmospheric science at COAS). The major objectives of the REU program are to i) provide students with the opportunity to experience research in marine science and an understanding of its interdisciplinary nature; ii) provide students with a unique educational opportunity and exposure to a wide range of marine science; and iii) increase participation in and access to marine studies for under-represented groups. Interns have directed research projects, a required report and oral presentation, and are encouraged to present at regional or national meetings. Additional activities include seminar series, field sampling, interaction with graduate students and related intern programs, career development training, scientific ethics discussions, and exchanges to learn about other interdisciplinary research conducted in Oregon's diverse environments.The site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
