This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of California, Scripps Institute of Oceanography in La Jolla, CA. The Scripps Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF)program is a 10-week summer program that invites sixteen undergraduate students from across the country to Scripps to participate in a high quality collaborative research with Scripps faculty and researchers. Program components include a comprehensive research project, research seminars, career workshops, graduate school preparation, a GRE-prep course, participation in a research symposium, field trips and social events. Research topics directly relate to many contemporary environmental issues and underlie an understanding of earth systems, evolution, climate, marine and ocean sciences and sustainability. All participants will present the results of their summer research projects in the SURF Research Symposium at Scripps and will be encouraged to present at a national conference as well. This program will give REU participants access to research facilities at Scripps and the opportunity to engage in high quality collaborative research with accomplished faculty mentors, graduate students and researchers. The breadth of ocean-related sciences at Scripps makes it accessible to students from practically all science and engineering disciplines, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology, ecology, physiology, molecular/biotechnology, environmental sciences, technology/computer science and pharmaceutical sciences. This program will provide a total of forty-eight students with an exceptional research experience and career training.

该奖项为加州大学斯克里普斯海洋学研究所（位于加州拉霍亚）的本科生研究经验（REU）项目提供了新的资金。斯克里普斯本科研究奖学金（SURF）计划是一个为期10周的暑期项目，邀请来自全国各地的16名本科生到斯克里普斯参加与斯克里普斯教师和研究人员的高质量合作研究。方案组成部分包括一个全面的研究项目，研究研讨会，职业讲习班，研究生院的准备，一个GRE预备课程，参加研究研讨会，实地考察和社会活动。 研究课题直接涉及许多当代环境问题，并奠定了地球系统，进化，气候，海洋和海洋科学和可持续性的理解。所有与会者将在斯克里普斯的分区域资源中心研究专题讨论会上介绍他们夏季研究项目的成果，并鼓励他们参加全国会议。该计划将使REU参与者能够访问斯克里普斯的研究设施，并有机会与有成就的教师导师，研究生和研究人员进行高质量的合作研究。在斯克里普斯海洋相关科学的广度使它接近几乎所有的科学和工程学科的学生，包括数学，物理，化学，地质学，生态学，生理学，分子/生物技术，环境科学，技术/计算机科学和制药科学。该计划将为48名学生提供卓越的研究经验和职业培训。
