Annual Performance Report to the Office of Naval Research
Abstract
The Duke University Marine Laboratory, with funding from the Office of Naval Research, conducts an 8-week summer internship program for rising seniors from two high schools: East Carteret High School and West Carteret High School. The purpose of the program is to expose students to active, on-going research programs so that they may be able to understand what is involved in a career in marine science research. Groups of interns are preselected by a committee of science teachers at each school and the applications are sent to the Duke University Marine Laboratory (DUML). At DUML, applications are reviewed and rated by a panel of three scientists: one from NOAA-NMFS, one from the University of North Carolina Institute of Marine Sciences, and one from DUML. Three interns are selected from each of the two schools. Interns are matched with research faculty at DUML who then contact the interns in the spring to begin the process of developing a research topic.
