Research Experience in Marine Science and Marine Biology in the Gulf of Mexico and other Coastal Oceans at Texas A&M University at Galveston (TAMUG-REU)

该奖项为德克萨斯农工大学加尔维斯顿分校（TAMUG）的本科生（REU）新研究经验项目提供资金。该计划将在为期三年（2009-2011）的十周夏季研究计划期间支持十名学生。该计划将包括学生的独立研究项目，参加每周一次的科学和职业相关主题的夏季系列讲座。它将以书面报告和学生海报和口头报告结束。学生还将参加各种实地考察和实验室图尔斯之旅。资金支持学生津贴，食宿，旅行和一些实地考察费用。将鼓励学生在同行评审的期刊上发表文章，并参加夏季研究计划之后的国家会议。TAMUG将进行全国招聘工作，并将重点对四个西班牙裔服务机构，包括UT布朗斯维尔，UT泛美，TAMU金斯维尔和TAMU语料库，克里斯蒂本地招聘工作，以支持OCE的努力，以增加学生和教师在海洋科学的多样性。根据NSF REU计划的要求，大部分学生将从TAMUG以外的学校中选拔。

This award provides funding for a new Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at Texas A&M University at Galveston (TAMUG). The program will support ten students during a ten week summer research program over a three year period (2009-2011). The program will include independent research projects by the students, participation in a weekly summer lecture series on scientific and career-related topics. It will conclude with a written report and student poster and oral presentations. Students will also participate in a variety of field trips and laboratory tours. Funding supports student stipends, room and board, travel, and some field trip expenses. Students will be encouraged to publish in peer-reviewed journals and participate in national conferences following the summer research program. TAMUG will conduct a national recruiting effort and will focus local recruiting efforts on four Hispanic Serving Institutions, including UT Brownsville, UT Pan America, TAMU Kingsville, and TAMU Corpus-Christi, in support of OCE's efforts to increase the diversity of students and faculty in ocean sciences. As required by NSF REU program, most of the students will be selected from schools other than TAMUG.
