Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, College of William and Mary

该奖项为弗吉尼亚海洋科学研究所（VIMS），威廉和玛丽学院的REU网站提供了新的资金。该奖项将支持10名本科生每年在为期10周的夏季研究实习。迄今为止，该方案共支助了84名实习生，其中73人来自少数群体，并利用其他来源的资金支助了另外35名实习生。在接下来的三年里，该计划预计每年至少有12-15名实习生得到NSF和其他资金的支持。实习计划的重点是跨学科的沿海海洋科学，特别是在当地河口环境中运行的过程。联合国大学将分担大量费用。

This award provides renewed funding for an REU site at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), College of William and Mary. The award will support ten undergraduate students each year during a 10-week summer research internship. To date, the program has supported a total of 84 interns, of which 73 were from minority groups, and has supported 35 additional interns with funding from other sources. During the next three years, the program expects to have at least 12-15 interns per year supported with NSF and other funding. The internship program focuses on interdisciplinary coastal marine science, particularly processes operating in the local estuarine environment. Substantial cost-sharing will be provided by the University.
