The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) will host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site. The REU Site will support nine students during a twelve week, Fall-semester research program from 2021-2023. BIOS will offer a hands-on experience for undergraduates focused on the "process of science" rather than on specific topics within science. Students will conduct team-based research projects and will participate in a weekly seminar series, join BIOS scientists aboard the R/V Atlantic Explorer, and visit local sites of ecological interest.BIOS will introduce nine undergraduate students per year to the techniques, skills and intellectual processes required to conduct collaborative research in the marine sciences over the course of a research-intensive program. BIOS is uniquely situated in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, allowing students the opportunity to study the open ocean in conjunction with established oceanographic timeseries programs, or the near-shore environment of one of the most northerly coral reef systems in the world. In addition to an immersive, experiential introduction to scientific research, the BIOS REU program is designed to provide professional development of both students and mentors. Participants receive training in the practice of research, including extensive practice in scientific communication, as well as skills for advanced graduate study and career development.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.

百慕大海洋科学研究所将开设一个本科生研究经验网站。REU网站将在2021-2023年为期12周的秋季学期研究计划中支持9名学生。BIOS将为专注于“科学过程”而不是科学中的特定主题的本科生提供实践经验。学生将进行团队为基础的研究项目，并将参加每周一次的系列研讨会，加入R/V大西洋探险家的BIOS科学家，并参观当地的生态利益网站。BIOS将介绍每年9名本科生的技术，技能和智力过程中进行合作研究所需的海洋科学在研究密集型计划的过程中。BIOS独特地位于大西洋中部，让学生有机会结合已建立的海洋学时间序列计划或世界上最北端的珊瑚礁系统之一的近岸环境来研究公海。除了沉浸式的，体验式的介绍科学研究，BIOS REU计划旨在为学生和导师提供专业发展。参与者接受研究实践的培训，包括科学交流的广泛实践，以及高级研究生学习和职业发展的技能。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
