项目摘要

The Dauphin Island Sea Laboratory (DISL) located on Dauphin Island, AL in the northern Gulf of Mexico, will host a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. The program will bring eight undergraduates each summer to DISL to conduct independent research projects with the guidance of research mentors. The program will provide a strong integration of field and lab-based studies across disciplines and proximity to a range of ecosystems. In addition to independent research in marine science, students will participate in a series of seminars, field trips, and enrichment activities designed to develop the skills critical to a career in science. Students will present a final poster at a formal symposium, with the goal of contributing to a peer-reviewed paper and presenting their work at a scientific meeting following the summer internship. The theme of the DISL REU program is understanding the marine and estuarine ecosystems and living resources of the Gulf of Mexico, including research topics such as benthic ecology, fisheries and marine mammal ecology, toxicology, and biological, chemical, and physical oceanography. The program will conduct a national search for applicants and seeks to engage students who are from schools with limited research opportunities, particularly those in the Gulf Coast region. Most of the funding provided supports student stipends, housing and travel to attend the program. The Rutgers REU Site will provide a total of twenty-four undergraduates with internships over the three-year period. This project supports the national goals of developing the next generation of scientists and the scientific workforce.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.

位于墨西哥北部Al的Dauphin岛的Dauphin Island Sea Laboratory（DIB）将举办本科生（REU）计划的研究经验。该计划将在每年夏天带来八名本科生，在研究导师的指导下不喜欢进行独立的研究项目。该计划将在跨学科和靠近一系列生态系统的跨学科研究和基于实验室的研究中有很大的整合。除了海洋科学领域的独立研究外，学生还将参加一系列的研讨会，实地考察和丰富活动，旨在发展对科学职业至关重要的技能。学生将在正式的研讨会上介绍最后一张海报，目的是为同行评审的论文做出贡献，并在暑期实习后的一次科学会议上介绍他们的作品。 DEB REU计划的主题是了解墨西哥湾的海洋和河口生态系统和生存资源，包括底栖生态，渔业和海洋哺乳动物生态学，毒理学以及生物学，化学，化学和物理海洋学等研究主题。该计划将对申请人进行全国搜索，并寻求吸引从研究机会有限的学校，尤其是墨西哥湾沿岸地区的学生。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。 Rutgers REU网站将在三年期间为实习提供总计二十四名大学生。该项目支持发展下一代科学家和科学劳动力的国家目标。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准，被认为值得通过评估来支持。
