REU: Undergraduate Research in Estuarine and Coastal Marine Systems

这项本科生研究经验（REU）计划位于北卡罗来纳州皮弗岛的杜克大学海洋实验室（DUML）。该奖项支持一个为期三年的项目，每年夏天将为8名学生提供在DUML为期10周的研究实习经验。PI将在全国范围内招募学生，包括伊丽莎白城市州立大学、萨凡纳州立大学（SSU）和34所学校（主要是非博士学位授予机构），这些学校隶属于海洋科学教育联盟的海洋实验室。学生将住在海洋实验室宿舍，在食堂用餐。学生可以选择10位指导老师，研究领域包括：(1)感觉生理学和行为，(2)环境毒理学，(3)分子生物学和遗传学，以及(4)海岸和河口过程。课外活动包括海洋实验室主办的研讨会计划，参加选定的实地考察和与水有关的娱乐活动。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，并准备一份关于他们研究的科学手稿。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 Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program is located at the Duke University Marine Laboratory (DUML), Piver's Island, NC. The award supports a three-year program that will provide eight student internships each summer for a 10-week research experience at DUML. The PI will recruit students nationally and at Elizabeth City State, Savannah State University (SSU) and the 34 schools (mainly non-PhD granting institutions) that are affiliated with the Marine Laboratory in the Marine Sciences Educational Consortium. Students will live in Marine Laboratory dormitories and take their meals in the dining hall. Students will have a choice of ten advisors in the general research areas of (1) sensory physiology and behavior, (2) environmental toxicology, (3) molecular biology and genetics, and (4) coastal and estuarine processes. Co-curricular activities include a Marine Laboratory-sponsored seminar program, participation in selected field trips and water related recreational activities. At the end of the summer, REU students present their results during a student research symposium, and they prepare a scientific manuscript on their research. Support provided by NSF includes funding for student stipends, student travel to and from the site, student housing and meals and some administrative costs.
