The University of Rhode Island (URI) Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) will operate the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships in Oceanography (SURFO) program during the summers of 2020 and 2021. Each summer, twelve undergraduates will participate in authentic Oceanography research through a 10-week research experience designed for science, math and engineering students. A SURFO's research may include but is not limited to laboratory work, field work, data analysis, instrumentation development, and dynamical modeling. SURFO students develop an individual research topic under the mentorship of a URI faculty member or Marine Research Scientist and carry out a program of research from proposal stage, to its conduct and analysis, and concluding with the dissemination of their results in an oral presentation and a written document in either journal manuscript or NSF Graduate Fellowship Proposal format. SURFO participants are provided a monetary stipend, summer housing, and travel between their home and GSO. Additionally, SURFOs participate in professional development activities to prepare them for graduate school research in Oceanography and the sciences in general.The SURFO program focuses on quantitative aspects of oceanography (e.g., physical oceanography, geophysical fluid dynamics, marine geophysics, population genetics and biodiversity, biogeochemical cycling, quantitative ecology), which closely parallel the strengths of the institution. The primary undergraduate population targeted by the program includes students from various disciplines, but with strong backgrounds in mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, geology, computer science, and engineering. Students from underrepresented groups in science and engineering (minority and first-generation college) and students with limited exposure to oceanographic research at their home institutions are highly sought.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.

罗德岛大学（URI）海洋学研究生院（GSO）将在2020年和2021年夏季开展海洋学夏季本科生研究奖学金（SURFO）计划。每年夏天，12名本科生将通过为理工科学生设计的为期10周的研究体验，参与真正的海洋学研究。SURFO的研究可能包括但不限于实验室工作、现场工作、数据分析、仪器开发和动态建模。SURFO学生在URI教师或海洋研究科学家的指导下制定个人研究课题，并执行从提案阶段到其实施和分析的研究计划，最后以口头报告和书面文件的形式传播他们的研究结果期刊手稿或NSF研究生奖学金提案格式。SURFO的参与者将获得金钱津贴，夏季住房，以及他们的家和GSO之间的旅行。此外，海洋科学办公室还参加专业发展活动，为研究生院在海洋学和一般科学方面的研究做好准备。SURFO计划侧重于海洋学的定量方面（例如，物理海洋学，地球物理流体动力学，海洋地球物理学，种群遗传学和生物多样性，生物地球化学循环，定量生态学），这与该机构的优势密切相关。该计划的主要本科生群体包括来自不同学科的学生，但在数学、物理、生物、化学、地质、计算机科学和工程方面有很强的背景。来自科学和工程领域代表性不足群体的学生（少数族裔和第一代大学）以及在本国机构接触海洋研究有限的学生受到高度追捧。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。
