Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships at the Darling Marine Center

该奖项为缅因州大学达林海洋中心的本科生研究经验（REU）项目提供资金。 这项为期两年的试点计划将资助6至8名本科生进行为期11周的实习，其中包括研讨会和一个研究项目。由学生选择的导师将帮助学生制定和进行研究项目。 学生将接受科学方法和相关技能的指导，这些技能是所有科学领域的共同点（假设制定和检验，基本统计，实验和抽样设计，科学写作和数据呈现）。他们还将参加一个以海洋科学职业为重点的研讨会，并将在课程结束时展示他们的研究成果。该计划是开放给所有美国公民和永久居民参加任何学院或大学。特别鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数民族提出申请。来自缅因州大学的配套资金也包括在这一建议中。

This award provides funding to initiate a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Maine's Darling Marine Center. The two-year pilot program will sponsor six to eight undergraduate students in an eleven-week internship that includes seminars and a research project. Mentors chosen by the students will help the students formulate and conduct a research project. Students will receive instruction in scientific methodology and related skills that are common to all fields of science (hypothesis formulation and testing, elementary statistics, experimental and sampling design, scientific writing, and data presentation). They will also participate in a seminar focussed on careers in marine science and will present results of their research at the end of the program. The program is open to all U.S. citizens and permanent residents attending any college or university. Applications from women and under-represented minorities are particularly encouraged. Matching funds from the University of Maine are also included in this proposal.
