The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $400,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site on ocean science and engineering from 2025-2027. The grant will support a summer program for 10 undergraduate students each year to participate in independent research projects across disciplines such as biological, chemical, geological, and physical oceanography, as well as ocean engineering and marine policy. Students will be matched with research advisors, complete a written final report, and present their findings. The program also includes professional development activities like a lecture series, field experiences, and workshops on topics like responsible conduct of research and scientific communication. The award aims to provide undergraduate students, particularly those in physics, engineering, and math, the opportunity to explore applications of their studies to ocean-related research areas.
