REU: Undergraduate Research in Estuarine and Coastal Marine Systems

本科生（REU）计划的研究经验位于北卡罗来纳州皮弗岛的杜克大学海洋实验室（DUML）。该奖项支持一个为期三年的计划，将提供八个学生实习，每年夏天在DUML为期10周的研究经验。 PI将在全国范围内以及伊丽莎白城州、萨凡纳州立大学（SSU）和隶属于海洋科学教育联盟海洋实验室的34所学校（主要是非博士授予机构）招收学生。学生将住在海洋实验室宿舍，并在食堂用餐。学生将有十个顾问在一般研究领域的选择（1）感官生理学和行为，（2）环境毒理学，（3）分子生物学和遗传学，以及（4）沿海和河口过程。课外活动包括海洋博物馆主办的研讨会计划，参加选定的实地考察和与水有关的娱乐活动。在夏季结束时，REU学生在学生研究研讨会上展示他们的研究成果，并准备一份关于他们研究的科学手稿。NSF提供的支持包括学生津贴，学生往返网站的交通，学生住宿和膳食以及一些行政费用。

This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program is located at the Duke University Marine Laboratory (DUML), Piver's Island, NC. The award supports a three-year program that will provide eight student internships each summer for a 10-week research experience at DUML. The PI will recruit students nationally and at Elizabeth City State, Savannah State University (SSU) and the 34 schools (mainly non-PhD granting institutions) that are affiliated with the Marine Laboratory in the Marine Sciences Educational Consortium. Students will live in Marine Laboratory dormitories and take their meals in the dining hall. Students will have a choice of ten advisors in the general research areas of (1) sensory physiology and behavior, (2) environmental toxicology, (3) molecular biology and genetics, and (4) coastal and estuarine processes. Co-curricular activities include a Marine Laboratory-sponsored seminar program, participation in selected field trips and water related recreational activities. At the end of the summer, REU students present their results during a student research symposium, and they prepare a scientific manuscript on their research. Support provided by NSF includes funding for student stipends, student travel to and from the site, student housing and meals and some administrative costs.
