摘要 加强与海军陆战队的研究、教育和外联伙伴关系 环境科学联盟-Dauphin Island海洋实验室(DISL)将为 FDA的使命。DISL是阿拉巴马州最有价值的资产之一。DISL最近被指定为 作为阿拉巴马州的卓越中心，无可估量地提高了该州的生活质量 以及更远的地方。DISL网络包括23个州的知名科学家- 在全球范围内招收学生参加课堂学位项目的赞助机构， 实验室和教育中心。DISL，拥有国家认可的教育 计划、前沿研究协作、创新的业务伙伴关系和 环境政策制定者，寻求保持其多样化的多学科交流 FDA作为其充满活力和富有成效的研究网络的一部分。此协作增加了 DISL和FDA在整个墨西哥湾研究的智力资本和推广机会 墨西哥。拟议项目的目标包括：增加两国间科学交流 大学教职员工以及FDA的科学家和工作人员；增加了 双方实验室中合格的学生(研究生)、教职员工， 教室和办公室；促进教育和研究联席会议；增加 大学教职员工与FDA科学家和员工之间的研究合作； 增加研究产品产出，包括同行评议的出版物、方案 发展和科学演示；开展国际合作活动 包括外联；以及共享独特的设施和设备，以增加费用 提高科学工作的效率。该项目还将共同努力，以获得赠款。 和其他校外资金，以支持合作研究和培训 适当的法定权力，促进采用与生态有关的科学 开发资源恢复方案，并促进科学在 墨西哥湾沿岸居民的日常生活。 到目前为止，该项目已毕业4名博士生和2名硕士研究生。另外两个博士和 麻省理工学院的学生正在参与正在进行的项目。此外，几名实习生收到了 通过培训计划研究项目的经验。来自该计划的产品 在过去的4年中，包括超过58个演讲，5个同行评审 出版物，1个资助的衍生研究提案。

Abstract Increased development of research, education and outreach partnerships with the Marine Environmental Science Consortium-Dauphin Island Sea Lab (DISL) will greatly contribute to FDA's mission. The DISL is one of Alabama's most valuable assets. DISL was recently designated as the Alabama Center of Excellence and adds immeasurably to the quality of life in the state and beyond. The DISL network includes well-recognized scientists affiliated with 23 state- sponsored institutions that enroll students worldwide in degree programs in classrooms, laboratories, and education centers. The DISL, which houses nationally recognized education programs, leading-edge research collaborations, innovative business partnerships and environmental policy makers, seeks to maintain its diverse multidisciplinary exchanges with FDA as part of its vibrant and productive research network. This collaboration increases the intellectual capital and outreach opportunities of DISL and FDA research throughout the Gulf of Mexico. The goals of the proposed project include: Increased scientific exchanges between university faculty and staff and FDA scientists and staff; Increased educational opportunities for qualified students (graduate), staff members and faculty members in the Parties' laboratories, classroom and offices; Facilitation of joint meetings for education and research; Increased research collaborations between university faculty and staff and FDA scientists and staff; Increased research product outputs, including peer-reviewed publications, protocol development, and scientific presentations; Development of cooperative international activities including outreach; and Sharing of unique facilities and equipment for increased cost efficiencies for scientific endeavors. The project also will develop joint efforts to obtain grants and other extramural funds to support collaborative research and training as permitted under appropriate statutory authority, promote the adoption of ecologically relevant science in the development of resource restoration programs, and promote the importance of science in the everyday lives of the citizens of the Gulf of Mexico coast. To date, the program has graduated 4 PhD students and 2 MS students. Two additional PhD and MS students are participating in ongoing projects. In addition, several interns have received research experiences on projects through the training program. Products from the program during the last 4 years have included more than 58 presentations, 5 peer-reviewed publications, 1 funded derivative research proposal.
