REU: From the intertidal to the ocean deep: Monterey Bay Regional Ocean Science REU Program

这个新的REU网站将设在加州州立大学，蒙特雷湾（CSUMB）。该计划将使12名学生到CSUMB参加海洋学研究，每年夏天为期10周，为期三年。CSUMB是一个拥有强大本科研究项目的西班牙裔服务机构，将成为蒙特雷湾区域REU项目的中心。除了在CSUMB的研究机会，学生将与五个合作机构的导师配对：斯坦福大学的霍普金斯海洋站，海军研究生院，苔藓登陆海洋实验室，蒙特雷湾水族馆研究所，和埃尔克霍恩斯劳国家河口研究保护区。学生将住在CSUMB，PI将组织所有专业发展活动，但学生将有机会参加合作机构的研究。该计划利用蒙特雷湾地区的科学和教育资产，以增加为海洋科学职业做好准备的学生的多样性和数量。为了实现这一目标，PI将招募参与者，重点是来自代表性不足的群体和那些获得海洋学研究有限的学生。学生将在全国范围内招募，并将提供助学金，住房的计划，膳食计划和交通的持续时间。

This new REU Site will be based at California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB). The program will bring 12 students to CSUMB to participate in oceanographic research for 10 weeks each summer for three years. CSUMB, a Hispanic-Serving Institution with a strong undergraduate research program, will serve as the hub of this Monterey Bay Regional REU program. In addition to research opportunities at CSUMB, students will be paired with mentors at five partner institutions: Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University, the Naval Postgraduate School, Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, and Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve. Students will live at CSUMB and the PI will organize all professional development activities, but students will have the opportunity to participate in research at the partner institutions. This program leverages the scientific and educational assets of the Monterey Bay region to increase the diversity and number of students prepared for careers in Ocean Science. To accomplish this goal the PI will recruit participants with an emphasis on students from underrepresented groups and those with limited access to oceanographic research. Students will be recruited nationally and will be provided with stipends, housing for the duration of the program, a meal plan, and transportation.
