This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program is located at the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) in Narragansett, RI. Named the "Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships in Oceanography" (SURFO) program, the REU Site is a 10-week research/educational program designed to expose 12 undergraduates per year to cutting-edge, authentic, oceanographic research. Each student will work with a research advisor and graduate student to develop/conduct a research project in an area of oceanography appropriate to each student's background and interests. The research or educational niche filled by the SURFO program deals with the more quantitative aspects of oceanography, which closely parallels the strengths of GSO. The research projects undertaken by participants are typically part of a separately funded research program, but the student project focuses on an interesting aspect of the research that was not anticipated. Many of the student projects result in important initial findings for subsequent research proposals or publications. Numerous research seminars and professional development workshops are conducted specifically for the SURFOs. At the end of the summer, students present their results during a student research symposium and they write a research paper. Students and advisors are strongly encouraged to continue the projects for presentation at national/regional meetings or submission to refereed journals.The site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

本科生（REU）计划的研究经验位于罗得岛大学海洋学研究生院（GSO）在纳拉甘塞特，RI。REU网站名为“海洋学夏季本科生研究奖学金”（SURFO）计划，是一个为期10周的研究/教育计划，旨在每年让12名本科生接触尖端，真实的海洋学研究。每个学生将与研究顾问和研究生合作，开发/开展适合每个学生背景和兴趣的海洋学领域的研究项目。SURFO方案填补的研究或教育领域涉及海洋学的更多定量方面，这与地球静止轨道的优势密切相关。参与者进行的研究项目通常是单独资助的研究项目的一部分，但学生项目侧重于研究的一个有趣的方面，这是没有预料到的。许多学生项目为后续的研究提案或出版物提供了重要的初步发现。专门为分区域资源中心举办了许多研究研讨会和专业发展讲习班。在夏季结束时，学生在学生研究研讨会上展示他们的成果，并撰写研究论文。强烈鼓励学生和顾问继续在国家/地区会议上展示项目或提交给评审期刊。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。
