REU Site: Research Experience for Undergraduates in Coastal Bays of New England

摘要：该奖项为位于马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔海洋生物实验室的REU场地提供资金。该项目将把5名本科生带到MBL进行为期10周的独立研究体验。指导科学家将来自MLB、波士顿大学和伍兹霍尔海洋研究所。实习生将与科学家密切合作，开发和执行一个独立的研究项目。在项目结束时，实习生口头介绍他们的工作，并提交一篇论文供同行评议。大多数论文发表在MBL出版物《生物学简报》上。实习生还参加每周一次的研讨会，主题包括统计分析、研究设计、科学演示、科学伦理和科学职业。

Abstract: This award provides funding for an REU site based at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. The program will bring 5 undergraduate students to MBL for a 10-week independent research experience. Mentoring scientists will be drawn from MLB, Boston University and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Interns will work closely with the scientists to develop and execute an independent research project. At the end of the program, interns give an oral presentation of their work and submit a paper for peer review. Most of the papers are published in the MBL publication Biological Bulletin. Interns also participate in weekly seminars on topics such as statistical analyses, research design, scientific presentations, scientific ethics, and careers in science.
