Oregon State University’s (OSU) will host the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site called “From the Upper Estuaries to the Deep Sea” at the Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) campus in Newport, Oregon. The REU program directly involves undergraduates in all aspects of marine science research from project inception to data collection, analysis, and interpretation, to presentation and publication of research results to both scientific and general audiences. HMSC will support cohorts of 16 interns, 10 traditional onsite and 6 new positions for remote-hybrid interns during a ten-week summer program that takes advantage of the wide range of marine science research opportunities available at HMSC and the experience successfully supporting remote and remote-hybrid interns during the Covid-19 pandemic. The goal is to develop an active inclusive community of students engaged in the interdisciplinary nature of marine science as a collective educational experience. Major objectives of the REU program are to: 1) provide students an opportunity for the highest quality research experience in marine science and an understanding of its interdisciplinary nature; 2) provide students with a professional development training opportunity and exposure to a wide range of marine science pathways leading to STEM careers; 3) increase participation in and access to marine sciences for traditionally under-represented students and nontraditional students through targeted recruitment efforts at regional community colleges and non-research universities serving underrepresented groups; and 4) adapt and learn from the successful support of a virtual cohort research experience during COVID-19 in summer of 2020 and 2021. Students will pursue research projects that fall within three major themes: Theme 1: Biology and Ecology of Marine and Estuarine Organisms; Theme 2: Ocean and Estuarine Ecology and Biogeochemistry; Theme 3: Physics of Estuarine and Ocean Environments: including projects in physical oceanography and estuarine science.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 (OSU) 将在俄勒冈州纽波特的哈特菲尔德海洋科学中心 (HMSC) 校园举办名为“从上河口到深海”的本科生研究体验项目。 HMSC 将为 16 名实习生、10 名传统现场实习生和 10 名传统现场实习生提供支持，从项目启动到数据收集、分析和解释，再到向科学界和普通受众展示和出版研究成果。在为期十周的夏季项目中，为远程混合实习生提供了 6 个新职位，该项目利用了 HMSC 提供的广泛海洋科学研究机会以及在 Covid-19 大流行期间成功支持远程和远程混合实习生的经验。 REU 项目的主要目标是：建立一个积极包容的学生社区，将海洋科学的跨学科性质作为一种集体教育体验：1）为学生提供获得海洋科学最高质量研究经验和理解的机会。其跨学科的自然；2) 为学生提供专业发展培训机会，让他们接触到通往 STEM 职业的广泛海洋科学途径；3) 通过有针对性的招生工作，增加传统上代表性不足的学生和非传统学生对海洋科学的参与和接触机会；在服务于代表性不足群体的地区社区学院和非研究型大学；4) 适应并学习 2020 年和 2021 年夏季 COVID-19 期间虚拟队列研究的成功支持。学生将开展研究项目属于三个主要主题：主题1：海洋和河口生物的生物学和生态学；主题2：海洋和河口生态学和生物地球化学；主题3：河口和海洋环境物理学：包括物理海洋学和河口科学项目。通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，NSF 的法定使命被认为值得支持。
