This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) that will support ten undergraduate Fellows (rising seniors) annually for a 10-12 week summer internship program. Individual student research projects and the associated one-on-one mentorship with one or more members of the WHOI scientific and senior technical staff are the heart of the WHOI REU program. Another component of the program is the summer lecture series, which is designed for the Fellows and attended by all of them. The talks provide an introduction to the wide range of current research at WHOI, and an appreciation of how individual research efforts and interdisciplinary projects can advance our understanding of the oceans. The program also includes a half-day Ethics in Science workshop, and the opportunity to take part in the full range of academic and social activities available during the summer in Woods Hole. Finally, WHOI provides an at-sea experience for all Fellows on WHOI's coastal research vessel, R.V. Tioga. At the end of the summer, each Fellow prepares a written report describing their research, and makes a public oral presentation of their research results. Support provided by NSF includes funding for student stipends, student travel to and from the site, student housing and meals and some administrative costs.

该奖项为伍兹霍尔海洋研究所（WHOI）的本科生研究经验（REU）计划提供新的资金，该计划将每年支持10名本科生研究员（应届高年级学生）进行为期10-12周的夏季实习计划。 个人学生研究项目和相关的一对一的指导与WHOI科学和高级技术人员的一个或多个成员是WHOI REU计划的核心。该方案的另一个组成部分是夏季系列讲座，这是专为研究员和所有参加。这些演讲介绍了WHO当前的广泛研究，并赞赏个人研究工作和跨学科项目如何促进我们对海洋的了解。该计划还包括半天的科学伦理研讨会，并有机会参加伍兹霍尔夏季提供的全方位学术和社会活动。最后，世界卫生组织为所有研究员提供了在世界卫生组织沿海研究船R. V. Tioga上的海上体验。 在夏季结束时，每个研究员准备一份书面报告，描述他们的研究，并公开口头介绍他们的研究成果。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。
