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年的夏季开展夏季的海洋学研究奖学金（Surfo）计划。每年夏天，十二名本科生将通过为科学，数学和工程学的学生设计的10周研究经验。 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教职员工或海洋研究科学家的指导下开发了一个个人研究主题，并从提案阶段进行了研究计划，到其行为和分析，并在期刊手稿或NSF研究生研究生研究生研究生研究生研究生中的书面文档中传播其结果。提供了Surfo参与者的货币津贴，避暑别墅，并在他们的家和GSO之间旅行。此外，Surfos参加了专业发展活动，为它们准备海洋学研究生研究和一般科学研究。该计划针对该计划的主要本科生包括来自各个学科的学生，但在数学，物理，生物学，化学，地质，计算机科学和工程方面具有强大的背景。高度寻求来自其科学与工程学人（少数族裔和第一代学院）的学生（少数族裔和第一代学院）和在其家庭机构接触海洋学研究有限的学生。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来支持的。
