REU Site: Summer REU Program in Marine Science at the University of Delaware

特拉华大学地球、海洋与环境学院的本科生研究经验（REU）项目将续签三年。该项目每年夏天将有10名本科生来到刘易斯校区，实习生将在为期10周的项目中进行半独立的研究项目。在夏季结束时，实习生们会在一个小型研讨会上展示他们的成果，并将他们的工作写成一篇科学论文。特拉华大学教师每周举办的研讨会将为实习生提供海洋科学的广泛概述。专业发展研讨会包括科学领域的职业道路、科学传播和研究生院资助。实习生将参加几次实地考察，其中包括乘坐R/V Joanne Daiber进行一日游，向他们介绍各种研究和海洋学技术，到亨罗彭角州立公园进行实地考察，亲身介绍海岸地质学，以及沼泽漫步，向他们介绍这些系统的居民和生态作用。学生将被鼓励在项目结束后继续他们的研究，可以是科学出版物的合著者，追求高级论文或参加科学会议。该项目还包括与特拉华技术社区学院的合作。大部分资金用于支持30名本科生的参与者费用，包括学生津贴、住房和往返于他们参加该计划的家的交通。这个REU项目有助于培养下一代科学家和发展国家受过科学训练的劳动力的国家目标。特拉华大学将继续管理位于特拉华大学刘易斯校区的REU项目，这将为学生提供直接接触教师研究导师、校园内广泛的研究设施和沿海环境的机会。地球、海洋与环境科学学院下设地质科学系、地理系和海洋科学与政策学院，为学生提供跨学科研究课题的机会。教师导师的专业知识涵盖了海洋科学和专业发展活动的范围，将向学生介绍成功职业所需的技能。该项目将为30名本科生提供广泛的技术培训，使这些学生为进入劳动力市场或继续接受研究生培训做好准备。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

A Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Delaware's College of Earth, Ocean and Environment in Lewes, DE will be renewed for three years. The program will bring ten undergraduates to the Lewes campus each summer, and interns will conduct semi-independent research projects during the 10-week program. At the end of the summer, interns present their results during a mini-symposium and write up their work as a scientific paper. Weekly seminars by University of Delaware faculty will provide interns with a broad overview of marine sciences. Professional development workshops include career paths in the sciences, science communication, and graduate school funding. Interns will participate in several field trips including a day trip aboard the R/V Joanne Daiber, which introduces them to a variety of research and oceanographic techniques, a field trip to Cape Henlopen State Park, for hands-on introduction to coastal geology, and a marsh walk, which introduces them to the inhabitants and the ecological role of these systems. Students will be encourage to continue their research after the program, either by being a co-author on a scientific publication, pursuing a senior thesis or attending a scientific conference. The program also includes a partnership with the Delaware Technical Community College. Most of the funding provided supports participant costs for thirty undergraduates, including student stipends, housing and transportation to and from their home to participate in the program. This REU program contributes to the national goals of training the next generation of scientists and developing the nation's scientifically-trained workforce. The University of Delaware will continue to manage the REU program located on their Lewes, DE campus, which will provide students with direct access to faculty research mentors, the extensive research facilities on campus and the coastal environment. The College of Earth, Ocean and Environmental Sciences includes the Departments of Geological Sciences and Geography and the School of Marine Science and Policy, offering students the opportunity for interdisciplinary research topics. Faculty mentors' expertise spans the range of marine science and professional development activities will introduce students to skills required for successful careers. The program will support the extensive technical training for thirty undergraduates, preparing these students to enter the workforce or to pursue additional graduate training.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
