This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee's School of Freshwater Sciences (SFS). The proposed program would provide 10 students with a 10-week active learning experience each summer for two years. The Site provides environmental aquatic science research training for nationally-recruited students in a cohesive, multi- and interdisciplinary environment. Students interested in physics, chemistry, geology, and biology of lake and ocean settings are paired with mentors supervising active, often interdisciplinary research laboratories. Together they develop a program of empirical study compatible with the advisor's interests and capabilities within one of the dynamic interdisciplinary research programs. After an introduction to SFS, students spend a day of offshore Lake Michigan sampling experience, a day of analytical and conceptual interaction, and a second day of ROV exploration on a nearby reef aboard the research vessel R/V Neeskay. They then write a short research proposal and begin a combined field, laboratory, and library investigation. In some cases, small teams of students (2-3 each) work within an umbrella project. Scientific seminars and workshops on graduate school, career options and opportunities, writing and public presentation of results and related topics are included in the program.

该奖项为威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校淡水科学学院(SFS)的本科生研究体验(REU)项目提供了新的资金。拟议中的计划将在两年内，每年夏天为10名学生提供为期10周的积极学习体验。该网站为国家招收的学生提供环境水生科学研究培训，在一个有凝聚力的、多学科和跨学科的环境中。对湖泊和海洋环境的物理、化学、地质学和生物学感兴趣的学生将与指导活跃的、通常是跨学科的研究实验室的导师配对。在一个动态的跨学科研究项目中，他们共同开发了一个与导师的兴趣和能力相适应的实证研究项目。在介绍了SFS之后，学生们花了一天的密歇根湖近海采样体验，一天的分析和概念互动，以及在R/V Neeskay科考船上对附近珊瑚礁进行ROV探索的第二天。然后，他们写下一份简短的研究计划书，并开始实地考察、实验室考察和图书馆考察。在某些情况下，由学生组成的小组(每个小组2-3个)在一个伞状项目中工作。该计划包括关于研究生院、职业选择和机会、写作和公开展示结果及相关主题的科学研讨会和研讨会。
