Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), located in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, will host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site for ten undergraduates each year who will participate in the Summer Student Fellows (SSF) program. WHOI is one of the largest independent oceanographic institutions and research fleet operators in the world, and SSFs are offered a wide range of research opportunities. Students are recruited nationally from all major science and engineering disciplines, usually during their Junior year in college. Each Fellow is matched with an advisor(s) and is encouraged to discuss potential projects with them. Fellows and advisors together complete a work plan early on, then during the summer, each SSF conducts independent research and makes two presentations: a five-minute mid- summer oral progress report, and a final oral or poster presentation on their research. A written final project report is required. Professional development activities include a special lecture series, a one-day field experience on the R/V Tioga, a Responsible Conduct of Research workshop, training on how to prepare a scientific poster, and discussions about graduate school with a postdoc/graduate student panel. SSFs often present their results at professional conferences after the program is over and/or co-author publications in peer-reviewed journals.WHOI’s REU program is aimed at students interested in exploring the full range of sub-disciplines within oceanography. This includes biological, chemical, geological, and physical oceanography, plus ocean engineering and marine policy, with several of these disciplines requiring strong foundations in math and physics. For example, the program offers opportunities for physics, engineering, and math majors to explore application of their undergraduate major to areas of study that they may not have yet envisioned, such as ocean circulation, robotics, and climate modeling. Summer Student Fellows (SSFs) also have access to state-of-the-art analytical instruments, sampling devices and modeling programs for their research projects in a wide range of disciplines; themes that crosscut disciplines include oceans and climate, the Arctic, autonomous underwater vehicles and systems, and human-ocean interactions and impacts.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.

位于马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的伍兹霍尔海洋研究所 (WHOI) 每年将为 10 名本科生举办本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站，这些本科生将参加夏季学生研究员 (SSF) 计划，WHOI 是最大的计划之一。世界上独立的海洋学机构和研究船队运营商，并且 SSF 为全国所有主要科学和工程学科的学生提供广泛的研究机会，通常在大学三年级期间为每个研究员分配一个。并鼓励与他们讨论潜在的项目 研究员和顾问尽早共同完成工作计划，然后在夏季，每个 SSF 进行独立研究并进行两次演示：五分钟的仲夏口头进度报告。 ，并需要一份书面的最终项目报告，包括特别讲座系列、R/V Tioga 一日实地体验、负责任的研究行为研讨会、培训。关于如何准备科学海报，与博士后/研究生小组就研究生院进行的讨论通常会在项目结束后在专业会议上展示其结果和/或在同行评审期刊上共同撰写出版物。WHOI 的 REU 项目面向有兴趣探索的学生。海洋学的全部子学科，包括生物、化学、地质和物理海洋学，以及海洋工程和海洋政策，其中一些学科需要扎实的数学和物理基础。物理学,工程和数学专业的学生可以探索将本科专业应用到他们可能尚未想到的研究领域，例如海洋环流、机器人和气候建模。 -为各个学科的研究项目提供先进的分析仪器、采样设备和建模程序；跨学科的主题包括海洋和气候、北极、自主水下航行器和系统以及人类与海洋的相互作用和影响。该奖项反映了NSF 的法定使命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，该项目被认为值得支持。
