REU Site: Collaborative Marine Research Experience at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences

百慕大海洋科学研究所(BIOS)将主办一个本科生研究经验(REU)网站。REU网站将在2021年至2023年为期12周的秋季学期研究项目中为9名学生提供支持。Bios将为专注于“科学过程”而不是科学中的特定主题的本科生提供实践体验。学生将开展基于团队的研究项目，并将参加每周一次的研讨会系列，加入R/V大西洋探险者号上的BIOS科学家，并参观当地的生态名胜区。BIOS将每年向9名本科生介绍在研究密集型课程过程中开展海洋科学合作研究所需的技术、技能和智力过程。Bios得天独厚地位于大西洋中部，使学生有机会结合既定的海洋时间序列计划，或世界上最北端的珊瑚礁系统之一的近岸环境，研究开阔的海洋。除了对科学研究进行身临其境、体验式的介绍外，基本输入输出系统REU项目还旨在为学生和导师提供专业发展。参与者接受研究实践方面的培训，包括在科学交流方面的广泛实践，以及高级研究生学习和职业发展的技能。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) will host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site. The REU Site will support nine students during a twelve week, Fall-semester research program from 2021-2023. BIOS will offer a hands-on experience for undergraduates focused on the "process of science" rather than on specific topics within science. Students will conduct team-based research projects and will participate in a weekly seminar series, join BIOS scientists aboard the R/V Atlantic Explorer, and visit local sites of ecological interest.BIOS will introduce nine undergraduate students per year to the techniques, skills and intellectual processes required to conduct collaborative research in the marine sciences over the course of a research-intensive program. BIOS is uniquely situated in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, allowing students the opportunity to study the open ocean in conjunction with established oceanographic timeseries programs, or the near-shore environment of one of the most northerly coral reef systems in the world. In addition to an immersive, experiential introduction to scientific research, the BIOS REU program is designed to provide professional development of both students and mentors. Participants receive training in the practice of research, including extensive practice in scientific communication, as well as skills for advanced graduate study and career development.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.
