项目摘要

The Division of Ocean Sciences will continue funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the Dauphin Island Sea Laboratory (DISL) located on Dauphin Island, AL. The program will bring eight undergraduates to DISL each summer for three years. Students will participate in a 10-week guided research project and a professional development program. The main objective of the DISL REU Program is to provide research experiences in the marine sciences for undergraduate students from 2-year and 4-year primarily undergraduate institutions, with a special focus on students from the northern Gulf of Mexico coast (nGOM). The DISL REU program seeks to enhance understanding of how marine and estuarine ecosystems and living resources of the Gulf of Mexico respond to disturbance. Students will conduct semi-independent research experiences across disciplines in coastal ecology (plant, invertebrate, fish, mammal), toxicology, microbiology and biological, chemical, physical and geological oceanography. Students will participate in seminars, field trips, group discussions, and a formal poster symposium to develop critical professional skills. Networking is encouraged, and mentors facilitate publication of a peer-reviewed paper and presentations at scientific meetings following the internship. By providing basic research skills and career development to underserved and underrepresented students, this REU will increase the likelihood of enduring participation in sciences among these students and build capacity for their future success in any field. These efforts, in turn, will increase the diversity of Ocean Science professionals and role models for future students in STEM. By targeting students along the nGOM coast, the program additionally supports local communities and economies by enhancing the education and intellectual capital of the next generation in technical fields in the region.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.

海洋科学部将继续资助位于阿拉巴马州多芬岛的多芬岛海洋实验室（DISL）的本科生研究体验（REU）项目。该项目将在三年的时间里每年夏天带八名本科生到多芬岛海洋实验室。学生将参加为期10周的指导研究项目和专业发展计划。DISL REU计划的主要目标是为来自2年制和4年制本科院校的本科生提供海洋科学研究经验，特别关注来自墨西哥湾北部海岸（nGOM）的学生。DISL REU计划旨在加强对墨西哥湾海洋和河口生态系统以及生物资源如何应对干扰的理解。学生将在沿海生态学（植物、无脊椎动物、鱼类、哺乳动物）、毒理学、微生物学、生物、化学、物理和地质海洋学等领域进行半独立的跨学科研究。学生将参加研讨会、实地考察、小组讨论和正式的海报研讨会，以培养关键的专业技能。鼓励建立网络，导师协助发表同行评议的论文，并在实习后的科学会议上发表演讲。通过为服务不足和代表性不足的学生提供基本的研究技能和职业发展，该REU将增加这些学生持久参与科学的可能性，并为他们未来在任何领域的成功建立能力。反过来，这些努力将增加海洋科学专业人员的多样性，并为未来的STEM学生树立榜样。通过针对非政府组织沿海地区的学生，该项目还通过加强该地区下一代技术领域的教育和智力资本，支持当地社区和经济。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。
