The purpose of the Research Experiences in Marine Science (REMS) Research Coordination Network incubator project is to build and strengthen science pathways through the development of cumulative, culturally responsive, course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) in marine science in Hawai‘i. This project will coordinate an interdisciplinary gathering of communities that seek to empower students from groups historically excluded from STEM in Hawai‘i, with particular focus on Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander populations. University of Hawai'i (Hawai'i) students, and in particular Native Hawaiian students, face high rates of attrition and low representation in STEM academic and career pathways, but place-based research experiences that are culturally grounded, relevant, responsible, and sustainable may promote persistence.This network seeks to foster a culturally and professionally diverse community of marine science researchers and educators by conducting workshops to facilitate knowledge exchanges among network partners and outline network needs and creating and piloting novel modules for a marine science CURE. The network activities will center around the REMS Summer Program, a place-based CURE designed to support Hawaiʻi students (including high representation of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander students) as they transition into undergraduate STEM pathways. Professional development workshops that highlight place-based practices, laulima (community work/service) days at community partner sites, and a student research symposium hosted during the REMS program will be used to promote equitable and reciprocal relationships amongst network participants and REMS community partners. This project is being jointly funded by the Directorate for Biological Sciences, Division of Biological Infrastructure, and the Directorate for STEM Education, Division of Undergraduate Education as part of their efforts to address the challenges posed in Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action (http://visionandchange/finalreport/).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.

海洋科学研究经验（REMS）研究协调网络孵化器项目的目的是建立和加强科学途径，通过发展夏威夷海洋科学的累积，文化上敏感的，基于课程的本科生研究经验（CURES）。该项目将协调社区的跨学科聚会，旨在增强夏威夷历史上被排除在STEM之外的群体的学生的能力，特别关注夏威夷土著和太平洋岛民。夏威夷大学（夏威夷）的学生，特别是夏威夷土著学生，面临着高流失率和低代表性的STEM学术和职业道路，但基于地方的研究经验，是文化接地，相关，负责任，该网络力求通过举办讲习班，促进网络伙伴之间的知识交流，概述网络需求，为海洋科学CURE创建和试行新的模块。该网络活动将围绕REMS暑期课程，一个基于地方的CURE，旨在支持夏威夷夏威夷学生（包括夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民学生的高代表性），因为他们过渡到本科STEM途径。专业发展研讨会，突出地方为基础的做法，laulima（社区工作/服务）天在社区合作伙伴网站，并在REMS计划期间主办的学生研究研讨会将用于促进网络参与者和REMS社区合作伙伴之间的公平和互惠关系。该项目由生物基础设施部生物科学理事会和本科教育部STEM教育理事会共同资助，作为应对本科生物学教育中的愿景和变革所带来的挑战的努力的一部分：行动呼吁（http：//visionandchange/finalreport/）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进行评估，被认为值得支持的搜索.
