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“从河口上游到深海”的本科生研究体验（REU）网站。REU计划直接涉及海洋科学研究的各个方面，从项目开始到数据收集，分析和解释，再到向科学和普通观众展示和出版研究成果。HMSC将在为期十周的暑期项目中支持16名实习生，10名传统现场实习生和6名远程混合实习生的新职位，该项目利用HMSC提供的广泛的海洋科学研究机会以及在Covid-19大流行期间成功支持远程和远程混合实习生的经验。目标是发展一个积极的包容性学生社区，参与海洋科学的跨学科性质，作为一种集体教育经验。 REU计划的主要目标是：1）为学生提供海洋科学最高质量研究经验的机会，并了解其跨学科性质; 2）为学生提供专业发展培训机会，并接触到广泛的海洋科学途径，导致STEM职业; 3）通过在为代表性不足的群体服务的区域社区学院和非研究型大学开展有针对性的招生工作，增加传统上代表性不足的学生和非传统学生参与和获得海洋科学的机会;及4）于2020年及2021年夏季的COVID-19期间，我们成功支援虚拟队列研究，从中汲取经验。学生将从事属于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学：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知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
