This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, FL. The program will support ten students during a ten-week summer research program. The goal of Mote Marine Laboratory?s Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program is to provide research experiences in estuarine science to U.S. college and university undergraduates with special focus on recruiting minority groups underrepresented in science and engineering. Students will be paired with Mote researchers from six research centers and will conduct mentored research projects on one of four major threats to coastal habitats: aquatic pollution, natural toxins, habitat alteration, and coral reef decline. All students enrolled in Mote?s REU Program participate in: 1) laboratory-wide and program-specific orientations; 2) discussion groups on essential career skills in science; 3) research seminars presented by Mote staff and visiting scientists, 3) field trips to other science facilities, and 4) ethics training. All participants will complete a project proposal at the beginning of the program and written and oral reports at the end of their internship.

该奖项为佛罗里达州萨拉索塔莫特海洋实验室的本科生研究体验 (REU) 项目提供了新的资金。该计划将在为期十周的夏季研究计划中为十名学生提供支持。莫特海洋实验室本科生研究经验 (REU) 计划的目标是为美国学院和大学本科生提供河口科学的研究经验，特别注重招募在科学和工程领域代表性不足的少数群体。学生们将与来自六个研究中心的莫特研究人员配对，并针对沿海栖息地的四大威胁之一开展指导研究项目：水生污染、自然毒素、栖息地改变和珊瑚礁衰退。所有参加 Mote REU 项目的学生都会参加： 1) 实验室范围和特定项目的迎新活动； 2）关于科学基本职业技能的讨论小组； 3) 由 Mote 工作人员和访问科学家举办的研究研讨会，3) 其他科学设施的实地考察，以及 4) 道德培训。所有参与者将在课程开始时完成项目提案，并在实习结束时完成书面和口头报告。
