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研究所 (WHOI) 的本科生研究体验 (REU) 项目将获得为期两年的更新资助。该奖项每年资助 10 名本科生参加为期 10 至 12 周的暑期学生研究员 (SSF) 项目。学生是在全国范围内进行筛选后选拔出来的，并与 WHOI 众多专注于各种研究主题的科学家中的导师进行匹配。他们获得津贴、住房以及往返家乡和 WHOI 的交通费。 学生完成一个研究项目，参加系列研讨会、专业发展研讨会和实地考察，并完成最终研究论文和海报。许多研究员有机会在项目结束后的科学会议上展示他们的工作。自 2011 年以来对夏季研究员的跟踪显示，约 80% 的 SSF 校友正在攻读理科研究生课程或在科学/技术领域工作，因此，WHOI REU 计划为国家科学和技术劳动力的培训做出了重要贡献。 REU 研究员在 WHOI 有机会从事各种科学研究课题。每位研究员都将获得在 WHOI 五个学术部门和一个中心之一或美国地质调查局工作的研究人员的一对一指导。 WHOI 院系包括应用海洋物理与工程、生物学、地质学与地球物理学、海洋化学与地球化学以及物理海洋学。 WHOI 海洋政策中心的研究机会集中在海事法、环境质量和海洋资源方面。
