REU Site: Research in Subtropical Marine Ecosystems

该奖项为德克萨斯大学海洋科学研究所（UTMSI）的本科生研究经验（REU）项目提供了新的资金，该研究所位于德克萨斯州阿兰萨斯港，是德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的一部分。每年，八名学生将在为期十周的暑期研究项目中得到支持。该项目将在全国范围内以及德克萨斯州的许多大学和学院招生。该计划的主要重点将是学生的独立研究项目，但该计划包括在计划开始时进行为期两天的研究巡航，一系列海洋科学研讨会，网络交流和职业研讨会。在夏季结束时，REU学生在学生研究研讨会上展示他们的成果。学生也将被鼓励在国家研究会议上展示他们的成果。国家科学基金会提供的支持包括资助学生津贴、学生往返地点的旅费、学生住房和膳食以及一些行政费用。

This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute (UTMSI), which is located in Port Aransas, TX and is part of the University of Texas at Austin. Each year, eight students will be supported during a ten week summer research program. The program will recruit nationally and from many Texas universities and colleges. The main focus of the program will be independent research projects by the students, but the program includes a two day research cruise at the start of the program, a series of seminars in marine sciences, web-based communication and career workshops. At the end of the summer, REU students present their results during a student research symposium. Students also will be encouraged to present their results at national research conferences. Support provided by NSF includes funding for student stipends, student travel to and from the site, student housing and meals and some administrative costs.
