The University of Southern California (USC)'s Wrigley Institute of Environmental Science and the USC Department of Biology will host a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. The program will bring undergraduates to USC each summer for three years for a ten-week internship. Participating interns will be housed at either the USC Wrigley Marine Science Center (WMSC) on Catalina Island or the USC University Park Campus, Los Angeles. Potential research topics are focused on the theme of coastal oceanography and include a wide range of studies. Interns will also participate in a variety of professional development activities and workshops as well as field-based activities. Interns may have the opportunity to participate in scientific conferences.Participating USC faculty have come from seven different departments/sections at USC (Earth Sciences, Marine Environmental Biology, Spatial Sciences, Environmental Studies, Archaeology, Civil Engineering, and Molecular Computational Biology), and all have active, nationally-funded research programs and strong publication records. The program also recruits top research faculty mentors or co-mentors from minority-serving institutions and local 4-year public and liberal arts colleges who routinely work at the WMSC in the summers. Therefore, REU Interns can choose from potential research projects in a wide variety of fields, such as marine biogeochemical cycles, population genetics, genomics, marine Nitrogen cycles, microbial ecology, protistan diversity, molecular ecology archaeology, hydrology, phytoplankton biology and physiology, marine bacteria, viruses, archaea, benthic and marine invertebrate ecology, physiology, evolutionary adaptation, microbial eukaryotes, ecophysiology of corals, trace metals, microbiology, squid-Vibrio symbiosis, Human-environment interactions, sustainability, kelp forest ecology, neuroendocrinology, and Tardigrade diversity and ecology.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.

南加州大学（USC）的箭牌环境科学学院和USC生物学系将主持本科生的研究经验（REU）计划。该计划将每年夏天将本科生带到南加州大学三年，进行十周的实习。参加实习生将安置在卡塔利纳岛的USC箭牌海洋科学中心（WMSC）或洛杉矶USC大学公园校园。潜在的研究主题集中在沿海海洋学的主题上，并包括广泛的研究。实习生还将参加各种专业发展活动和研讨会以及基于现场的活动。实习生可能有机会参加科学会议。参与USC教职员工来自USC的七个不同部门/部门（地球科学，海洋环境生物学，空间科学，环境研究，考古学，土木工学，土木工程工程学和分子计算生物学），以及全国资源有积极的，具有积极的研究计划和强大的研究记录。该计划还招募了来自少数族裔服务机构的顶级研究教师或联合收取者，以及当地的4年公共和文科学院，他们在夏季经常在WMSC工作。 Therefore, REU Interns can choose from potential research projects in a wide variety of fields, such as marine biogeochemical cycles, population genetics, genomics, marine Nitrogen cycles, microbial ecology, protistan diversity, molecular ecology archaeology, hydrology, phytoplankton biology and physiology, marine bacteria, viruses, archaea, benthic and marine invertebrate ecology,生理学，进化适应，微生物真核生物，珊瑚的生态生理学，痕量金属，微生物学，微生物学，鱿鱼 - 杂造共生，人类环境相互作用，可持续性，海带森林生态学，神经内政学和神经内政术和通过tardigrade的多样性和生态奖，并反映了nsf的构成奖，并依据是代表的构成，智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
