The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) located in Woods Hole, MA will receive renewed funding for two years. The award supports ten undergraduate students per year in the ten to twelve-week Summer Student Fellow (SSF) Program. Students are selected following a national search and are matched with mentors from the large number of scientists at WHOI who focus on a wide variety of research topics. They receive a stipend, housing and travel to and from their home to WHOI. Students complete a research project, participate in a seminar series, professional development workshops and field trips, and complete a final research paper and a poster. Many Fellows have an opportunity to present their work at a scientific conference after the program. Tracking of summer Fellows since 2011 shows about 80% of SSF alumni are in science graduate programs or working in a scientific/technical field, and therefore, the WHOI REU program provides an important contribution towards training of the nation's scientific and technical workforce.REU Fellows at WHOI have the opportunity to work on a wide variety of scientific research topics. Each Fellow will receive one-on-one mentoring from a researcher who works in one of WHOI's five academic departments and one Center, or at the U.S Geological Survey. The WHOI Departments are Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering, Biology, Geology and Geophysics, Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry, and Physical Oceanography. The WHOI Marine Policy Center has research opportunities focused on maritime law, environmental quality, and marine resources.

位于马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的伍兹霍尔海洋学机构（WHOI）的本科生（REU）计划的研究经验将获得两年的新资金。该奖项为十至12周的夏季学生（SSF）计划中的每年十个本科生提供支持。在全国搜索之后选择学生，并与WHOI大量科学家的导师相匹配，他们专注于各种各样的研究主题。他们收到津贴，住房和往返Whoi的津贴。 学生完成一个研究项目，参加研讨会系列，专业发展研讨会和实地考察，并完成最终的研究论文和海报。在计划结束后，许多研究员有机会在科学会议上介绍他们的作品。自2011年以来对夏季研究员的跟踪表明，大约80％的SSF校友参加了科学研究生课程或在科学/技术领域工作，因此，WHOI REU计划为培训该国的科学和技术劳动提供了重要贡献，WHOI的Reu Fellows有机会从事各种各样的科学研究主题。每个研究员将从一名研究人员那里获得一对一的指导，该研究人员在WHOI的五个学术部门和一个中心或美国地质调查局中工作。 WHOI部门是应用海洋物理和工程，生物学，地质学和地球物理学，海洋化学与地球化学以及物理海洋学的应用。 WHOI海洋政策中心的研究机会侧重于海事法，环境质量和海洋资源。
