This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site program at the Bermuda Institute for Ocean Sciences (BIOS). The REU Site provides hands-on research experiences for undergraduates. Students conduct independent research projects based on a variety of marine and open ocean science topics ranging from the molecular to macro scale processes. Many of the research projects fall within the framework of the numerous long-term deep ocean programs conducted at BIOS including Hydrostation 'S', the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS), the Microbial Observatory, the Ocean Flux Program (OFP), and the Ocean Carbon and Climate Change Program. Students also have opportunities to focus on near-shore processes (e.g., water and air pollution, coral reef ecology, marine biodiversity), topics within the Oceans and Human Health Program (e.g., cancer and aging), and topics within the Risk Prediction Initiative (e.g., ocean:atmosphere-based catastrophe models such as those used to predict hurricanes and/or intense rainfall events). Students participate in weekly activities (e.g., REU student seminars, visits to the aquarium and biological conservation/restoration sites) and frequently join BIOS scientists aboard the R/V Atlantic Explorer. Since BIOS is a small campus, REU students have ample opportunity to get to know faculty/staff. BIOS has many active teaching programs during Fall semester that ensure a diverse student population that includes US students taking semester-long courses as well as US, Canadian, and UK visiting university groups. REU students also have opportunities to work with ocean science students from developing countries as part of the POGO Centre of Excellence in Observational Oceanography. At program end, REU students present a seminar of their work to BIOS staff and write manuscripts in the format of a journal appropriate for publication of each project. Support provided by NSF includes funding for student stipends, student travel to and from the site, student housing and meals and some administrative costs.

该奖项为百慕大海洋科学研究所（BIOS）的本科生研究经验（REU）网站计划提供了新的资金。REU网站为本科生提供实践研究经验。学生根据各种海洋和开放海洋科学主题进行独立的研究项目，从分子到宏观尺度过程。许多研究项目属于BIOS进行的许多长期深海方案的框架，包括Hydrostation 'S '，百慕大大西洋时间序列研究（BATS），微生物观测站，海洋通量方案（OFP）以及海洋碳和气候变化方案。学生也有机会专注于近岸过程（例如，水和空气污染、珊瑚礁生态、海洋生物多样性）、海洋和人类健康计划内的主题（例如，癌症和衰老），以及风险预测倡议中的主题（例如，海洋：基于大气的灾难模型，如用于预测飓风和/或强降雨事件的模型）。学生参加每周的活动（例如，REU学生研讨会，参观水族馆和生物保护/恢复网站），并经常加入BIOS科学家登上R/V大西洋探险家。由于BIOS是一个小校园，REU学生有充分的机会去了解教师/工作人员。BIOS在秋季学期有许多活跃的教学计划，以确保多样化的学生群体，包括美国学生参加为期一个学期的课程，以及美国，加拿大和英国访问大学团体。REU学生也有机会与来自发展中国家的海洋科学学生合作，作为POGO卓越中心的一部分。在程序结束时，REU学生提出了他们的工作BIOS工作人员的研讨会，并在适合每个项目的出版期刊的格式写手稿。NSF提供的支持包括学生津贴，学生往返网站的交通，学生住宿和膳食以及一些行政费用。
