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

位于特拉华州刘易斯的特拉华州地球、海洋与环境学院将在位于特拉华州刘易斯的沿海校区举办本科生研究体验（REU）项目。该计划将带来10名本科生到刘易斯校园每年夏天，实习生将进行半独立的研究项目在10周的计划。UD REU计划的目标是促进学生进入STEM领域的招聘和保留，特别是地球科学。该计划将欢迎本科生参与研究体验。他们将在科学研究的基础上进行培训，同时在教师导师的指导下，在地质，物理，化学和生物海洋学的各种主题上进行研究项目。该计划的学生将有助于对海洋，海洋中的生物以及其他相关主题的新理解和发现，这些主题将促进对这一至关重要的系统的了解。UD REU计划将为学生提供直接接触教师研究导师，刘易斯校园内广泛的研究设施以及当地沿海环境的机会。地球，海洋和环境科学学院包括地质科学和地理系以及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海洋科学的范围，专业发展活动将向学生介绍成功职业所需的技能。每周由特邀演讲者和UD教师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，科学传播和数据分析的职业道路。实习生将参加几次实地考察，包括乘坐R/V Daiber一日游，向他们介绍各种研究和海洋学技术，并实地考察新泽西州五月角的水产养殖设施。学生将被鼓励继续他们的研究计划后，无论是在科学出版物的合著者，追求高级论文或参加科学会议。该计划将支持对本科生进行广泛的技术培训，为这些学生进入劳动力市场或接受额外的研究生培训做好准备。该计划还包括与特拉华州技术社区学院的合作。大部分资金用于支持30名本科生的费用，包括学生津贴、住房和往返于家中参加该项目的交通费。该REU计划有助于培养下一代科学家和发展国家的科学训练有素的劳动力的国家目标。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

The University of Delaware's College of Earth, Ocean and Environment in Lewes, DE will host a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the coastal campus in Lewes, DE. 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. The goal of the UD REU program is to promote the recruitment and retention of students into STEM fields in general, and the geosciences in particular. The program will welcome undergraduate students to an engaging research experience. They will be trained in the fundamentals of scientific research while they pursue research projects on a wide variety of topics in geological, physical, chemical and biological oceanography, under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Students in the program will contribute to new understandings and findings about the ocean, the organisms within it, and other related topics that will advance knowledge of this critically important system. The UD REU program will provide students with direct access to faculty research mentors, the extensive research facilities on the Lewes campus, and the local 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. Weekly seminars by invited speakers and UD faculty will provide interns with a broad overview of marine sciences. Professional development workshops include career paths in the sciences, science communication, and data analysis. Interns will participate in several field trips including a day trip aboard the R/V Daiber, which introduces them to a variety of research and oceanographic techniques, and a field trip to an aquaculture facility in Cape May, NJ. Students will be encouraged 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 will support the extensive technical training for undergraduates, preparing these students to enter the workforce or to pursue additional graduate training. The program also includes a partnership with the Delaware Technical Community College. Most of the funding provided supports expenses for the 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.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.
