This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources located in Charleston, SC. The proposed 12-week summer internship program will provide laboratory and field-based research expertise to eight undergraduate students from across the nation each summer for three years. The REU Site draws mentors, facilities, equipment and experiences from the closely situated Federal and state research institutions that comprise the Marine Resources Center at Fort Johnson, Charleston, South Carolina. Students will be required to design and complete independent mentor-guided research projects and will attend classes on statistics, scientific writing, and presentation skills to train them for successful future careers in the marine and environmental sciences. As final products of the program, students will be required to prepare both a written final report and an oral presentation on the findings from their projects. Oral presentations will be given as part of a day-long research colloquium. Following the program, students are encouraged to attend a professional meeting or conference to present their work.Funding supports student stipends, student travel to and from Charleston, dormatory housing during the program and some administrative expenses.

该奖项为位于南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿的南卡罗来纳州自然资源部的本科生研究体验(REU)项目提供新的资金。拟议的为期12周的暑期实习计划将在三年内，每年夏天为来自全国各地的八名本科生提供实验室和实地研究专业知识。REU网站从位于南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿约翰逊要塞的联邦和州立研究机构汲取导师、设施、设备和经验，这些机构组成了海洋资源中心。学生将被要求设计和完成独立导师指导的研究项目，并将参加统计、科学写作和演示技能课程，以培训他们在未来海洋和环境科学领域的成功职业生涯。作为项目的最终产品，学生将被要求准备一份书面的期末报告和一份关于他们项目发现的口头陈述。口头报告将作为为期一天的研究座谈会的一部分。项目结束后，学生们被鼓励参加专业会议或会议来展示他们的工作。基金支持学生津贴，学生往返查尔斯顿的路费，项目期间的宿舍和一些行政费用。
