This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of California, Scripps Institute of Oceanography in La Jolla, CA. The Scripps Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF)program is a 10-week summer program that invites sixteen undergraduate students from across the country to Scripps to participate in a high quality collaborative research with Scripps faculty and researchers. Program components include a comprehensive research project, research seminars, career workshops, graduate school preparation, a GRE-prep course, participation in a research symposium, field trips and social events. Research topics directly relate to many contemporary environmental issues and underlie an understanding of earth systems, evolution, climate, marine and ocean sciences and sustainability. All participants will present the results of their summer research projects in the SURF Research Symposium at Scripps and will be encouraged to present at a national conference as well. This program will give REU participants access to research facilities at Scripps and the opportunity to engage in high quality collaborative research with accomplished faculty mentors, graduate students and researchers. The breadth of ocean-related sciences at Scripps makes it accessible to students from practically all science and engineering disciplines, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology, ecology, physiology, molecular/biotechnology, environmental sciences, technology/computer science and pharmaceutical sciences. This program will provide a total of forty-eight students with an exceptional research experience and career training.

该奖项为加州大学拉霍亚斯克里普斯海洋学研究所的本科生研究体验 (REU) 项目提供了新的资金。斯克里普斯本科生研究奖学金 (SURF) 项目是一项为期 10 周的夏季项目，邀请来自全国各地的 16 名本科生来到斯克里普斯，与斯克里普斯教师和研究人员一起参与高质量的合作研究。项目组成部分包括综合研究项目、研究研讨会、职业研讨会、研究生院准备、GRE 预备课程、参加研究研讨会、实地考察和社交活动。 研究主题与许多当代环境问题直接相关，是对地球系统、进化、气候、海洋和海洋科学以及可持续性的理解的基础。所有参与者都将在斯克里普斯的 SURF 研究研讨会上展示其夏季研究项目的成果，并鼓励他们在全国会议上展示。该计划将使 REU 参与者能够使用斯克里普斯的研究设施，并有机会与卓有成效的教师导师、研究生和研究人员进行高质量的合作研究。斯克里普斯海洋相关科学的广度使几乎所有科学和工程学科的学生都可以接触到它，包括数学、物理、化学、地质学、生态学、生理学、分子/生物技术、环境科学、技术/计算机科学和制药科学。该项目将为总共 48 名学生提供卓越的研究经验和职业培训。
