Oregon State University’s (OSU) will host the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site called “From the Upper Estuaries to the Deep Sea” at the Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) campus in Newport, Oregon. The REU program directly involves undergraduates in all aspects of marine science research from project inception to data collection, analysis, and interpretation, to presentation and publication of research results to both scientific and general audiences. HMSC will support cohorts of 16 interns, 10 traditional onsite and 6 new positions for remote-hybrid interns during a ten-week summer program that takes advantage of the wide range of marine science research opportunities available at HMSC and the experience successfully supporting remote and remote-hybrid interns during the Covid-19 pandemic. The goal is to develop an active inclusive community of students engaged in the interdisciplinary nature of marine science as a collective educational experience. Major objectives of the REU program are to: 1) provide students an opportunity for the highest quality research experience in marine science and an understanding of its interdisciplinary nature; 2) provide students with a professional development training opportunity and exposure to a wide range of marine science pathways leading to STEM careers; 3) increase participation in and access to marine sciences for traditionally under-represented students and nontraditional students through targeted recruitment efforts at regional community colleges and non-research universities serving underrepresented groups; and 4) adapt and learn from the successful support of a virtual cohort research experience during COVID-19 in summer of 2020 and 2021. Students will pursue research projects that fall within three major themes: Theme 1: Biology and Ecology of Marine and Estuarine Organisms; Theme 2: Ocean and Estuarine Ecology and Biogeochemistry; Theme 3: Physics of Estuarine and Ocean Environments: including projects in physical oceanography and estuarine science.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.

俄勒冈州立大学(OSU)将在俄勒冈州纽波特的哈特菲尔德海洋科学中心(HMSC)校园举办名为“从上河口到深海”的本科生研究体验(REU)网站。REU计划直接让本科生参与海洋科学研究的方方面面，从项目开始到数据收集、分析和解释，再到向科学和普通受众展示和发布研究成果。HMSC将在为期十周的暑期计划期间为16名实习生、10名传统实习生和6名远程混合实习生提供支持，该计划利用HMSC提供的广泛海洋科学研究机会以及在新冠肺炎大流行期间成功支持远程实习生和远程混合实习生的经验。其目标是发展一个积极、包容的学生社区，作为一种集体教育体验，参与海洋科学的跨学科性质。REU项目的主要目标是：1)为学生提供机会获得最高质量的海洋科学研究体验，并了解其跨学科性质；2)为学生提供专业发展培训机会，并接触到通向STEM职业生涯的各种海洋科学途径；3)通过有针对性地在地区社区学院和为未充分代表群体服务的非研究型大学招生，增加传统代表性不足学生和非传统学生参与海洋科学的机会；以及4)适应并借鉴2020年和2021年夏天在新冠肺炎期间成功支持的虚拟队列研究经验。学生将从事三个主要主题的研究项目：主题1：海洋和河口生物的生物学和生态学；主题2：海洋和河口生态学和生物地球化学；主题3：河口和海洋环境的物理：包括物理海洋学和河口科学的项目。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
