项目摘要

In response to the COVID-19 national emergency, many Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site programs have cancelled their programs for the summer 2020 due to a lack of housing and travel restrictions. Some REU sites that are funded by the Division of Ocean Sciences have created virtual internships for students who will be able to access and analyze data remotely. The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) will organize an on-line professional development workshop that is designed to support about sixty undergraduates and faculty mentors who are participating in virtual REU internships during the summer 2020. This professional development workshop series will ensure that students who are participating in the virtual internships have the professional development opportunities that are normally part of an in-person REU program.This project will support a workshop series that will focus on two topics. 1. Student Professional Development: providing a series of weekly professional development seminars for students participating in the virtual REUs. These seminars will serve the dual purpose of developing a sense of cohort amongst students, and 2. Faculty Support and Materials: supporting faculty mentors in preparing to run a virtual REU, providing faculty with seminars on facilitating professional development topics, and providing some webinar recordings and materials for guided student activities. The project will also be a model for future virtual internship programs.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.

为了回应19号国家紧急情况，由于缺乏住房和旅行限制，许多针对本科生（REU）现场计划的研究经验已取消了2020年夏季的计划。一些由海洋科学部资助的REU网站为能够远程访问和分析数据的学生创建了虚拟实习。大学大气研究公司（UCAR）将组织一个在线专业发展研讨会，旨在支持约60名本科生和教职导师，他们在2020年夏季参加虚拟REU实习。这个专业发展研讨会。这个专业发展研讨会系列将确保参与虚拟实习的专业发展的学生将有两个工作机会。主题。 1。学生专业发展：为参加Virtual Reus的学生提供一系列每周的专业发展研讨会。这些研讨会将有双重目的是在学生之间发展一种队列感，以及2。教师的支持和材料：支持教师的导师准备运行虚拟的REU，为教师提供有关促进专业发展主题的研讨会，并提供一些用于指导学生活动的Webinar记录和材料。该项目还将成为未来虚拟实习计划的模型。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评论标准来评估值得支持的。
