Savannah State University (SSU) in Savannah, Georgia will host an eight-week summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program in marine sciences for ten undergraduate students; the program will run for three years (2024-2026). The goal of this REU site is the early recruitment and support of undergraduate students, with a focus on recruiting students who have limited background knowledge of and access to academic research. The program includes a two-day research cruise opportunity for undergraduate students aboard an oceanographic research vessel and a specific emphasis on training non-traditional students, veterans, and students with disabilities. SSU's local partners include University of Georgia’s Skidaway Institute of Oceanography and UGA MAREX Shellfish Laboratory. Each of the partners has experienced research mentors and high-level research facilities that provide an excellent environment for student research projects. Students are recruited nationally, and support provided to interns includes stipends, travel to and from the site, housing and an allowance for meals.Phase I of the REU program, or weeks 1-2, focuses on whole-group activities including short courses, guest lectures, field trips and visits to marine laboratories along the Georgia/South Carolina coast. Short course topics include introductory marine science lectures and fundamental research skills. During the six-week Phase II, students will focus research in their mentor's lab at SSU or one of the participating institutions. Each student will complete an oral and written presentation of their research and a program evaluation.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.

位于佐治亚州萨凡纳的萨凡纳州立大学（SSU）将为十名本科生举办为期八周的海洋科学本科生研究体验项目；该项目的目标是三年（2024-2026）。 REU 网站是本科生的早期招募和支持，重点是招募背景知识和学术研究机会有限的学生。该计划包括为本科生乘坐海洋研究船进行为期两天的研究巡航机会和。特别注重培训非传统学生、退伍军人和残疾学生。 SSU 的当地合作伙伴包括佐治亚大学斯基德威海洋学研究所和 UGA MAREX 贝类实验室，每个合作伙伴都拥有经验丰富的研究导师和高水平的研究设施。为学生研究项目提供良好的环境。学生在全国范围内招收，并向实习生提供的支持包括津贴、往返现场的交通、住宿和膳食津贴。REU 项目的第一阶段，或几周。 1-2，重点是全组活动，包括短期课程、客座讲座、实地考察和参观乔治亚州/南卡罗来纳州海岸的海洋实验室。短期课程主题包括介绍性海洋科学讲座和基础研究技能。第二阶段，学生将在 SSU 的导师实验室或参与机构之一集中研究，每个学生将完成其研究的口头和书面陈述以及项目评估。该奖项是 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为值得通过以下方式获得支持。评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
