The University of South Florida will host a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the College of Marine Science (CMS) campus located in St Petersburg, FL. The program will bring ten undergraduates to the CMS campus each summer for three years to participate in a 10-week internship. REU interns will have the opportunity to conduct research in a range of interdisciplinary topics, such as carbon cycling, geochemical signatures, marine biodiversity, marine biomedical research, and maritime navigation. Students will be recruited from a wide range of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and non-STEM undergraduate majors, including engineering, computer science, mathematics, bio-medical, communications and education.This project is designed to better prepare undergraduates to conduct and communicate research. The REU will create an immersive ocean science program for 30 students with different academic backgrounds. It will expose, train, and educate students in the discipline of oceanographic research and Science Communication. Understanding integrative science and being able to communicate it is increasingly important in our society; the program will stress science literacy and communication as an integral part of the REU with dissemination of research projects through public channels. Furthermore, this project will recruit under-served and underrepresented students from a wide range of majors and will encourage them to consider pursuing graduate school in STEM.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.

南佛罗里达大学将在位于佛罗里达州圣彼得堡的海洋科学学院（CMS）校园举办本科生研究体验（REU）计划。该计划将在三年内每年夏天将十名本科生带到CMS校园参加为期10周的实习。REU实习生将有机会在一系列跨学科主题进行研究，如碳循环，地球化学特征，海洋生物多样性，海洋生物医学研究和海上航行。学生将从广泛的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）和非STEM本科专业招募，包括工程，计算机科学，数学，生物医学，通信和教育。该项目旨在更好地培养本科生进行和交流研究。REU将为30名具有不同学术背景的学生创建沉浸式海洋科学课程。它将暴露，培训和教育学生在海洋学研究和科学传播的学科。理解综合科学并能够沟通它在我们的社会中越来越重要;该计划将强调科学素养和沟通作为REU的一个组成部分，通过公共渠道传播研究项目。此外，该项目将从广泛的专业招募服务不足和代表性不足的学生，并鼓励他们考虑攻读STEM研究生院。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。
