This award provides renewed funding for a REU site at Western Washington University's Shannon Point Marine Center (SPMC) located in Anacortes, WA. The program will support eight student internships each summer for five years. Interns will participate in a nine-week independent research program during the summer and will receive a weekly stipend, food allowance, housing on-site, and travel to and from SPMC. Students will be recruited nationwide and will be mentored by faculty at SPMC. Undergraduate research is a prominent part of the summer program at SPMC. The REU Site program receives a significant level of institutional attention and resources, including considerable faculty and staff time, boat-time, laboratory space, and training activities that promote the research agenda. The underlying philosophy of the program at SPMC is that students can best learn the research process by working closely with individual faculty advisors in an environment that places high value on the significance of undergraduate research. Participants will be encouraged to conduct research related to the theme of living resources and processes of the local coastal environment. At the end of the nine weeks, students will complete a written report and give an oral presentation of their research.

该奖项为位于华盛顿州Anacortes的西华盛顿大学的Shannon Point Marine Center（SPMC）的REU网站提供了新的资金。该计划将在五年内每年夏天支持八个学生实习。实习生将在夏季参加为期九周的独立研究计划，并将获得每周的津贴，食品津贴，现场住房以及往返SPMC的旅行。学生将在全国范围内招募，并将在SPMC的教职人员的指导下进行指导。本科研究是SPMC夏季计划的重要组成部分。 REU网站计划获得了大量的机构关注和资源，包括大量的教职员工时间，船时间，实验室空间以及促进研究议程的培训活动。该计划在SPMC的基本理念是，学生可以通过与个人教师顾问在本科研究的重要性上享有很高价值的环境中最好地学习研究过程。将鼓励参与者进行与当地沿海环境的生命资源和过程主题有关的研究。在九周结束时，学生将完成一份书面报告，并对他们的研究进行口头介绍。
