The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) in Woods Hole, MA will host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site that will provide ten students with a ten-week active learning experience each summer for three years. Each Summer Student Fellow (SSF) is matched with an advisor(s) from one of the academic departments at WHOI. Fellows work with their advisor to complete a work plan within their first few weeks of arriving at WHOI. During the summer, each SSF makes two presentations: a five-minute mid-summer oral progress report, and a final oral or poster presentation on their research. A written final project report is required. Professional development activities include a special lecture series, a one-day field experience on the R.V. Tioga, a half-day Responsible Conduct of Research workshop, training by the WHOI graphics department on how to prepare a scientific poster, and discussions about graduate school with a panel of postdocs and graduate students. Fellows are encouraged to publish papers in scientific journals and to present their research at scientific meetings after the internship is completed.The WHOI REU Site will provide a total of thirty undergraduates with internships over the three-year period. The program conducts a national search for applicants and seeks to engage students who are from schools with limited research opportunities. Most of the funding provided supports student stipends, housing and travel to attend the program. The range of potential research projects for REU students at WHOI is extensive, with high-quality research conducted by the students in a wide range of disciplines and sub-disciplines. WHOI is one of the largest independent oceanographic institutions and research fleet operators in the world. Fellows use state of the art analytical instruments, sampling devices and modeling programs for their research projects in a wide range of disciplines, including biology, marine chemistry and geochemistry, geology and geophysics, physical oceanography, ocean policy and ocean engineering. Research themes that crosscut disciplines include oceans and climate, the changing Arctic, deep-sea exploration, ocean observing systems, biogeochemical processes and cycles, autonomous underwater vehicles and systems, seafloor processes and evolution, and human-ocean interactions and impacts. This project supports national goals of developing the next generation of scientists and the scientific workforce.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

位于马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的伍兹霍尔海洋学研究所（WHOI）将举办一个本科生研究体验（REU）网站，该网站将在三年的时间里，每年夏天为10名学生提供为期10周的积极学习体验。每个暑期学生研究员（SSF）都与来自WHOI学术部门之一的顾问相匹配。研究员在到达WHOI的最初几周内与他们的顾问一起完成工作计划。在夏季，每个SSF做两次报告：五分钟的仲夏口头进度报告，以及最后的口头或海报报告他们的研究。需要一份书面的期末项目报告。专业发展活动包括一个特别系列讲座，在R.V. Tioga进行为期一天的实地体验，为期半天的负责任的研究行为研讨会，由WHOI图形部门提供关于如何准备科学海报的培训，以及与博士后和研究生小组讨论研究生院。鼓励研究员在科学期刊上发表论文，并在实习结束后在科学会议上介绍他们的研究。WHOI REU网站将在三年期间为30名本科生提供实习机会。该项目在全国范围内寻找申请人，并寻求吸引来自研究机会有限的学校的学生。大部分资金用于支持学生的津贴、住房和参加项目的旅费。WHOI的REU学生的潜在研究项目范围广泛，学生在广泛的学科和子学科中进行了高质量的研究。WHOI是世界上最大的独立海洋学机构和研究船队运营商之一。研究员使用最先进的分析仪器、采样设备和建模程序进行广泛学科的研究项目，包括生物学、海洋化学和地球化学、地质学和地球物理学、物理海洋学、海洋政策和海洋工程。交叉学科的研究主题包括海洋和气候，北极变化，深海勘探，海洋观测系统，生物地球化学过程和循环，自主水下航行器和系统，海底过程和演变，以及人类与海洋的相互作用和影响。该项目支持国家培养下一代科学家和科学劳动力的目标。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
