This award provides support to establish a COSEE West in the greater Los Angeles area with a diverse mix of activities aimed at 1) enhancing regional awareness of ocean sciences, 2) using ocean science as a vehicle to increase general science literacy and 3) increasing the number of students who choose science and ocean science careers. These goals will be addressed by through catalytic, multi-faceted collaboration between the University of Southern California and the University of California at Los Angeles with additional links to the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History and the greater Los Angeles school districts. A distance learning partnership will be established with the College of Exploration in Virginia. Activities will include an extensive professional development and leadership program for science teachers, a community lecture series, an ocean science web site, a college mentorship program and curriculum development activities. COSEE West has the potential to enhance science education in a densely populated and diverse major urban area. The program conveys a focused vision and a set of interesting plans for incorporating ocean scientists and their research results into classrooms, informal education activities and public outreach. Because of its focus on the LA basin, this COSEE Center has the potential to have a major impact on science education in school districts within the greater Los Angeles area. This proposal is collaborative with proposal #02-15497.

该奖项为在大洛杉矶地区建立Cosee West提供了支持，其活动的各种活动组合为1）提高对海洋科学的区域意识，2）使用海洋科学作为提高一般科学素养的工具，并增加了选择科学和海洋科学职业的学生人数。 这些目标将通过南加州大学和加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校之间的催化，多方面的合作来解决这些目标，并与洛杉矶县自然历史博物馆和大洛杉矶学区的其他联系。 将与弗吉尼亚州的勘探学院建立远程学习伙伴关系。 活动将包括一项广泛的专业发展和领导力教师，社区讲座系列，海洋科学网站，大学指导计划和课程发展活动。 Cosee West有可能在人口稠密且多样化的主要城市地区增强科学教育。 该计划传达了一个集中的愿景，以及将海洋科学家及其研究结果纳入教室，非正式教育活动和公共宣传的一系列有趣计划。 由于该中心的重点是La Basin，因此有可能对大洛杉矶地区学区的科学教育产生重大影响。该提案与提案＃02-15497合作。
