"SURFO: Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships in Oceanography"

该奖项为罗德岛大学海洋学研究生院（GSO）的暑期实习项目提供资金，该研究生院位于罗德岛州纳拉甘西特。这个项目自1986年以来一直很活跃，被称为海洋学暑期本科生研究奖学金（SURFO）。9名学生/暑期将参加一个为期11周的研究/教育计划，允许他们进行独立的研究项目。该项目旨在让数学、物理、计算机科学和工程专业的学生接触到海洋学研究的各个方面，通常招收具有较强计算能力的大三学生。学生从教师导师那里获得一对一的研究指导。他们参加各种各样的教育活动，包括介绍会、系列研讨会、实地考察和几个专业发展讲习班。在夏季结束时，学生准备口头和书面报告他们的研究。

This award provides funding for a summer internship program at University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) located in Narragansett, RI. This program has been active since 1986 and is called the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships in Oceanography (SURFO). Nine students/summer will participate in an eleven week research/education program that allows them to conduct independent research projects. The program aims to expose students who are majoring in math, physics, computer science and engineering to aspects of oceanographic research, and normally recruits rising Juniors with strong computational skills. Students receive one-on-one research instruction from a faculty mentor. They participate in a variety of educational activities, including an orientation session, a seminar series, field trips and several professional development workshops. At the end of the summer, students prepare both an oral and a written presentation on their research.
