Oregon State University will host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site program at its main campus in Corvallis, OR that will support ten undergraduate interns. Interns will be mentored by faculty at the OSU College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS). This REU Site offers research experiences in physics of ocean circulation, ocean ecology and elemental cycling, and marine geology and geophysics. The objectives of the REU program are to:1) provide students the highest quality research experience in ocean science and an understanding of its interdisciplinary nature;2) provide students with a professional development and training opportunity facilitating persistence and retention in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) career pathways; and3) increase access to and participation in ocean sciences in under-represented groups through targeted recruitment efforts at regional community colleges and four-year colleges and non-research universities serving underrepresented groups.REU students in CEOAS are plugged into major research centers, institutes, and initiatives and have access to premier facilities including: the Regional Class Research Vessels (RCRV) project; the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI), which deploys and maintains the Endurance Array in the northeast Pacific; the Marine and Geology Repository (MGR), which curates core collections from the Antarctic and Southern Ocean, North Pacific, and elsewhere; PacWave, which is building the first grid connecting wave energy testing facility in the U.S.; and OSU’s Marine Studies Initiative. The program includes professional development seminars and fieldtrips. Prior interns have participated in research cruises on the R/V Elakha (for coastal and estuarine sampling) , R/V Oceanus, and other UNOLS and NOAA fleet vessels (for multi-week cruises world-wide). The first of the RCRVs, the R/V Taani, will continue and build upon the tradition of intern participation in seagoing research once delivered to OSU.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.

俄勒冈州立大学将在其位于科瓦利斯的主要校园内为本科生（REU）网站计划提供研究经验，或者将支持十个本科生。 OSU地球，海洋和大气科学学院（CEOAS）的教师将考虑实习生。这个REU网站提供了海洋循环，海洋生态学和元素循环以及海洋地质和地球物理的研究经验。 REU计划的目标是：1）为学生提供海洋科学领域的最高质量研究经验，并了解其跨学科性质； 2）为学生提供专业发展和培训机会，以支持科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）职业途径的持久性和保留；和3）通过针对区域社区学院，四年制学院和四年制学院和非研究所的大学招募工作的招聘工作，增加了代表性不足的群体的海洋科学的机会并参与，为CEOAS的REU学生提供服务不足的学生。海洋天文台倡议（OOI），该计划在东北太平洋部署和维护耐力阵列；海洋和地质存储库（MGR），它策划了来自南极和南部，北太平洋和其他地方的核心收藏； Pacwave，它正在美国建造第一个连接波浪能测试设施的网格；和OSU的海洋研究计划。该计划包括专业开发的半训练和野外训练。先前的实习生参加了R/V Elakha（用于沿海和河口采样），R/V Oceanus以及其他UNOLS和NOAA舰队视频（全球为期多周周的巡游）的研究巡航。 R/V Taani的第一个RCRV将继续并以实习生参与OSU的实习的传统为基础。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的评估标准，认为通过评估来获得珍贵的支持。
