REU Site: Exploration of marine biology on the Oregon coast

一个新的研究经验的本科生（REU）网站在俄勒冈州大学尤金的俄勒冈州海洋生物研究所（OIMB）位于查尔斯顿，或将开发与此奖项。该计划将支持每年夏天总共十名学生为期九周的研究计划。该项目模式包括使用分层学习模式为两年制大学的学生提供研究机会，学生与导师合作进行研究。资金支持学生津贴，住房和学生从家到网站的旅费。 在三年的资助期内，共有三十名学生将参与不同类型的专业发展工作坊，学习科研经验，并有机会进行多方面的生物科学研究，包括无脊椎动物胚胎、幼体及幼体的生态学研究;食物网中的营养相互作用;带状蠕虫的生物学及系统学研究;生物与沿海物理海洋学和环境过程的生态相互作用;凝胶状浮游动物的生态学和流体力学功能;细胞生物学;河口鱼类和无脊椎动物生态学以及深海和潮下带无脊椎动物生态学。

A new Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the University of Oregon Eugene's Oregon Institute of Marine Biology (OIMB) located in Charleston, OR will be developed with this award. The program will support a total of ten students each summer for a nine-week research program. The project model includes offering research opportunities to students from 2-year colleges using a tiered learning model with pairs of students working with mentors to conduct research. Funding supports student stipends, housing and student travel expenses from their home to the site. A total of thirty students will gain experience in scientific research and participate in a variety of professional development workshops during the three years of the grant.Students will have the opportunity to conduct research in a wide range of biological sciences, including research on the ecology of invertebrate embryos, larvae, and juveniles; trophic interactions in food webs; biology and systematics of the ribbon worms; ecological interactions of organisms with coastal physical oceanographic and environmental processes; the ecology and hydromechanical function in gelatinous zooplankton; cell biology; estuarine fish and invertebrate ecology, and the ecology of deep-sea and subtidal invertebrates.
