REU: Ocean Sciences Meeting Support For OCE REU Students

该奖项为一个项目提供新的资金，该项目在本科生参加OCE资助的本科生研究体验(REU)项目后，在本学期参加美国湖泊和海洋学会(ASLO)和美国地球物理联盟(AGU)的会议。拟议的计划将继续支持每年22名REU学生(每个OCE资助的REU站点约一名)参加海洋科学冬季会议，为期三年。每位学生将获得机票和班车车费、注册费、住宿费、每日餐费、颁奖午餐会或类似官方活动的门票，以及在亚利桑那州立大学和亚利桑那州立大学的一年会员资格。该机会向所有REU学生开放，并鼓励未被充分代表的学科(例如，物理、化学和地质海洋学、建模)。学生们将为会议导航做好准备，然后允许他们自由地追求自己的目标，参与走廊讨论、午餐和晚餐会议，以及使我们的会议如此富有成效的所有其他非会议方面。几个计划中的活动将增强他们体验的网络方面。会议结束时的每日会议将提供反馈和互动。这种形式缓解了最初的社会和职业压力，并导致在学生寻求下一步职业生涯的准确时间与活跃的科学家建立互惠互利的联系。此外，该计划还为本科生研究传播(海报会议和非正式会议)开发了一个基础设施，向所有参加会议的本科生开放。它在专业与会者中获得了很高的知名度，为学生和专业科学家提供了宝贵的网络和招聘机会。该奖项通过为本科生提供与全国各地研究生院教师建立网络的机会，促进了海洋科学工作者的发展。

This award provides renewed funding for a program that takes undergraduate students to American Society for Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) and American Geophysical Union (AGU) meetings in the semester following their participation in an OCE-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. The proposed program will continue to support 22 REU students (about one from each OCE-funded REU Site) per year to attend the Ocean Science winter meetings for three years. Each student will receive air- and shuttle bus fare, registration, room, per diem meal expenses, ticket to the Award Luncheon or similar official event, and one year of membership in ASLO and AGU. The opportunity is open to all REU students and encourages underrepresented disciplines (e.g., physical, chemical, and geological oceanography, modeling). The students will be prepared for meeting navigation and then allowed to pursue their own goals with freedom to engage in hallway discussions, lunch and dinner meetings, and all the other non-session aspects that make our meetings so productive. Several planned events will enhance the networking aspects of their experience. Daily meetings at the end of sessions will provide for feedback and interaction. This format relieves initial social-professional pressure and leads to mutually-beneficial associations with active scientists at the precise time the students are seeking their next big career step. In addition, this program develops an infrastructure for undergraduate research dissemination (a poster session and informal meeting) that is open to all undergraduates who are attending the meeting. It has developed high visibility with the professional attendees, providing invaluable networking and recruitment opportunities for students and professional scientists alike. This award promotes the development of the ocean sciences workforce by providing an opportunity for undergraduates to network with faculty at graduate schools across the nation.
