项目摘要

This award provides new funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMass Boston). The Coastal Research in Environmental Science and Technology (CREST) REU site and is a 10-week research/educational program designed to expose 10 undergraduates per year to cutting edge, integrative, coastal environmental science research. Mentors will be available from the Environmental, Earth and Ocean Sciences department and the Biology department at UMass Boston. Each CREST scholar will work with a research mentor to develop/conduct a research project in an area of coastal environmental science or technology appropriate to each scholar's background and interests. Students will gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge instrumentation, field experiences, and training in coastal marine data collection and will participate in professional development activities that will develop skills in data interpretation and scientific writing, teamwork and leadership skills, and scientific ethics. The primary broader impacts of CREST are the recruitment and training of future researchers and educators in the coastal environmental sciences. The primary undergraduate population targeted by the program includes not only rising juniors but also younger students with strong interest in interdisciplinary research and coastal environmental science. NSF funding provides for student stipends, housing in univerisity apartments, student laboraotry and field trip expenses, and some administrative costs.

该奖项为马萨诸塞州波士顿大学（UMass Boston）的本科生研究经验（REU）计划提供了新的资金。沿海研究环境科学与技术（CREST）REU网站，是一个为期10周的研究/教育计划，旨在每年让10名本科生接触前沿，综合，沿海环境科学研究。导师将可从环境，地球和海洋科学系和生物系在马萨诸塞大学波士顿分校。每个CREST学者将与研究导师合作，开发/进行适合每个学者背景和兴趣的沿海环境科学或技术领域的研究项目。学生将获得实践经验与先进的仪器，实地经验，并在沿海海洋数据收集培训，并将参加专业发展活动，将开发数据解释和科学写作，团队合作和领导能力，以及科学道德的技能。CREST的主要广泛影响是招募和培训未来的沿海环境科学研究人员和教育工作者。该计划针对的主要本科生群体不仅包括正在上升的大三学生，还包括对跨学科研究和沿海环境科学有浓厚兴趣的年轻学生。NSF的资金提供学生津贴，大学公寓的住房，学生实验室和实地考察费用以及一些行政费用。
