Research training for the next generation of marine scientists and oceanographers is an important focus for the Division of Ocean Sciences. The Mote Marine Lab (MML) in Sarasota, FL will host a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program from 2018-2020. The program will bring ten undergraduates to MML each summer for a 10-week internship. The intellectual focus of the internship is on estuarine, coastal, and marine sciences. Research at the laboratory encompasses the diversity and interconnectedness of ocean and coastal resources and includes basic and applied research on biological and chemical features of estuaries and nearshore waters, and on behavioral and physiological aspects of species inhabiting these ecosystems Students will conduct independent research projects with the guidance of research mentors and will participate in a variety of professional development activities, including workshops on scientific ethics, scientific writing, the graduate school experience and career options, as well as a seminar series, field trips and outreach events. The program conducts a national search for applicants and seeks to engage students who are from schools with limited research opportunities. Most of the funding provided supports student stipends, housing and travel to attend the program. This project supports the national goals of developing the next generation of scientists and the scientific workforce. The MML REU Site will provide a total of thirty undergraduates with internships over the three-year period. Student will work with mentors who have a wide range of ongoing research on topics such as ocean acidification, effects of Deepwater Horizon oil spill and responses of estuarine or coastal communities to changes in environmental parameters (e.g. temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

对于海洋科学家和海洋学家的下一代研究培训是海洋科学划分的重要重点。佛罗里达州萨拉索塔的Mote Marine Lab（MML）将于2018 - 2020年为本科生（REU）计划举办研究经验。该计划将在每年夏天将十名本科生带到MML进行10周的实习。实习的智力重点是河口，沿海和海洋科学。实验室的研究涵盖了海洋和沿海资源的多样性和相互联系，包括河口和近岸水域的生物学和化学特征的基本和应用研究，以及居住在这些生态系统的物种的行为和生理方面的研究，这些生态系统学生将在各种研究中参与各种研究培训，包括专业研究的研究，包括专业的研究，包括专业的研究，这些研究的范围是从事研究，并将参与各种研究的研究，这是一项专业的研究。选项以及研讨会系列，实地考察和外展活动。该计划对申请人进行全国搜索，并寻求吸引研究机会有限的学校的学生。大多数资金提供了支持学生津贴，住房和旅行参加该计划的支持。该项目支持发展下一代科学家和科学劳动力的国家目标。 MML REU网站将在三年期间为实习提供三十个本科生。学生将与对诸如海洋酸化，深水地平线溢油的影响以及河口或沿海社区对环境参数变化的反应等主题进行广泛研究的导师合作（例如，温度，盐度，溶解的氧气）对NSF的法定任务进行了审查，并通过评估了范围，这一范围及其范围的经验。
