This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site program at the Bermuda Institute for Ocean Sciences (BIOS). The REU Site provides hands-on research experiences for undergraduates. Students conduct independent research projects based on a variety of marine and open ocean science topics ranging from the molecular to macro scale processes. Many of the research projects fall within the framework of the numerous long-term deep ocean programs conducted at BIOS including Hydrostation 'S', the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS), the Microbial Observatory, the Ocean Flux Program (OFP), and the Ocean Carbon and Climate Change Program. Students also have opportunities to focus on near-shore processes (e.g., water and air pollution, coral reef ecology, marine biodiversity), topics within the Oceans and Human Health Program (e.g., cancer and aging), and topics within the Risk Prediction Initiative (e.g., ocean:atmosphere-based catastrophe models such as those used to predict hurricanes and/or intense rainfall events). Students participate in weekly activities (e.g., REU student seminars, visits to the aquarium and biological conservation/restoration sites) and frequently join BIOS scientists aboard the R/V Atlantic Explorer. Since BIOS is a small campus, REU students have ample opportunity to get to know faculty/staff. BIOS has many active teaching programs during Fall semester that ensure a diverse student population that includes US students taking semester-long courses as well as US, Canadian, and UK visiting university groups. REU students also have opportunities to work with ocean science students from developing countries as part of the POGO Centre of Excellence in Observational Oceanography. At program end, REU students present a seminar of their work to BIOS staff and write manuscripts in the format of a journal appropriate for publication of each project. Support provided by NSF includes funding for student stipends, student travel to and from the site, student housing and meals and some administrative costs.

该奖项为百慕大海洋科学研究所（BIOS）的本科生（REU）现场计划的研究经验提供了新的资金。 REU网站为本科生提供动手研究经验。学生根据各种海洋科学主题进行独立的研究项目，从分子到宏观量表过程。许多研究项目都属于BIOS在内的众多长期深海计划的框架之内，包括Hydrostration'S'，百慕大大西洋时间系列研究（BAT），微生物天文台，海洋助焊剂计划（OFP）以及海洋碳和气候变化计划。学生还有机会专注于近海过程（例如水和空气污染，珊瑚礁生态学，海洋生物多样性），海洋和人类健康计划中的主题（例如癌症和衰老）以及风险预测的主动性中的主题（例如，海洋：大气中的灾难模型，例如用于预测Hurricanes和/或Intense and或Intensens and Intensensy降雨）。学生参加每周活动（例如，REU学生研讨会，访问水族馆和生物保护/修复站点），并经常加入R/V大西洋资源管理器上的BIOS科学家。由于BIOS是一个小型校园，因此REU学生有足够的机会了解教职员工。 BIOS在秋季学期中有许多活跃的教学课程，可确保包括我们在学期的课程以及我们，加拿大和英国访问大学的学生在内的多样化的学生群体。 REU学生也有机会与来自发展中国家的海洋科学学生合作，这是POGO观察海洋学卓越中心的一部分。在计划结束时，REU学生向BIOS员工提供了一项工作研讨会，并以适合于每个项目发布的期刊形式撰写手稿。 NSF提供的支持包括用于学生津贴的资金，学生往返于现场的旅行，学生住房和餐食以及一些行政费用。
