This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at Oregon State University (OSU). The program will provide 20 students with a 10-week active learning experience each summer for five years, for a total of 100 students over the duration of the program. Each summer, ten interns will work with scientists from the Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) in Newport, Oregon, and ten interns will work at the OSU main campus in Corvallis with mentors from the College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS). The major field for this REU site is broadly defined as marine science, ranging from marine and estuarine biology and ecology (at HMSC) through the physical sciences (marine aspects of physics, geology, and climate at CEOAS) to provide a diverse range of undergraduate research opportunities and faculty mentors. The major objectives of the REU program are to i) provide students with the opportunity to experience research in marine science and an understanding of its interdisciplinary nature; ii) provide students with a unique educational opportunity and exposure to a wide range of marine science; and iii) increase participation in and access to marine science for under-represented groups and students lacking access to STEM research. Interns have directed research projects, a required report and oral presentation, and are encouraged to present at regional or national meetings. Additional activities include seminars, fieldwork, interaction with graduate students and related intern programs, career development training, scientific ethics discussions, and exchanges to learn about other interdisciplinary research conducted in Oregon's diverse environments.The site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

该奖项为俄勒冈州州立大学（OSU）的本科生研究经验（REU）计划提供了新的资金。该计划将为20名学生提供为期五年的10周的积极学习体验，每年夏天，在该计划的持续时间内，共有100名学生。 每年夏天，10名实习生将与俄勒冈州纽波特的哈特菲尔德海洋科学中心（HMSC）的科学家一起工作，10名实习生将在科瓦利斯的OSU主校区与地球，海洋和大气科学学院（CEOAS）的导师一起工作。这个REU网站的主要领域被广泛定义为海洋科学，从海洋和河口生物学和生态学（在HMSC）到物理科学（物理，地质和气候的海洋方面在CEOAS），提供各种各样的本科生研究机会和教师导师。REU计划的主要目标是i）为学生提供体验海洋科学研究的机会，并了解其跨学科性质; ii）为学生提供独特的教育机会和接触广泛的海洋科学; iii）增加参与和获得海洋科学的代表性不足的群体和缺乏STEM研究的学生。实习生指导研究项目，要求报告和口头陈述，并鼓励在区域或国家会议上发言。其他活动包括研讨会、实地考察、与研究生和相关实习生项目的互动、职业发展培训、科学伦理讨论以及交流，以了解在俄勒冈州不同环境中进行的其他跨学科研究。该网站由国防部与NSF REU项目合作共同资助。
