REU Site: Coastal Marine Science Research Opportunities for Undergraduates at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS)

威廉和玛丽的海洋科学弗吉尼亚研究所（VIMS）的学院将举办本科生（REU）的研究经验网站计划在VIMS校园在格洛斯特Pt。弗吉尼亚该计划将使本科生每年夏天到VIMS校园三年。 VIMS的暑期实习计划向本科生介绍了全球沿海海洋和河口系统面临的复杂环境问题。 实习生计划的主要目标是：（1）为沿海海洋科学的本科生提供有意义的研究和培训机会，（2）增加海洋科学中代表性不足的群体的参与。导师从VIMS教师和访问科学家中选出。该计划提供海洋生态学，生物和化学海洋学，地球化学，地质和物理海洋学以及海洋政策等领域的实习机会。学生参与者是从美国各地招募的，包括来自代表性不足的群体和非研究性学院和大学的个人。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进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The College of William and Mary’s Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences (VIMS) will host a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site program at the VIMS campus in Gloucester Pt., VA. The program will bring undergraduates to the VIMS campus each summer for three years. The Summer Intern Program at VIMS introduces undergraduate students to the complex environmental issues facing coastal ocean and estuarine systems globally. The major objectives of the intern program are to: (1) provide meaningful research and training opportunities for undergraduates in coastal marine science, and (2) increase the participation of under-represented groups in the ocean sciences. Mentors are selected from the VIMS faculty and visiting scientists. The program provides internships in the areas of marine ecology, biological and chemical oceanography, biogeochemistry, geological and physical oceanography, and marine policy. Student participants are recruited from throughout the United States and include individuals from under-represented groups and from non-research colleges and universities. The research activities of enrolled interns often result in peer-reviewed publications.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.
