Background Founded in 1903, the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) is one of the world’s oldest centers for ocean research. The result of a joint venture by Harvard University, New York University, and the Bermuda Natural History Society, BIOS is an independent US not-for-profit organization operating in Bermuda. Impact BIOS believes in conducting ocean science research for human good, and its researchers are committed to using their science to benefit people and communities around the world, providing resources and knowledge that can be used by government representatives, environmental management officials, community leaders, and individual citizens to make the planet a better place to live. The research conducted at BIOS is relevant to the waters surrounding Bermuda, as well as global Earth system, and is multidisciplinary, spanning the biological, chemical, geological, and physical sciences. BIOS researchers are active partners in regional and international research collaborations that are working to address some of the most pressing issues of our time including climate change, marine conservation, ecosystem health, and naturaldisaster risk assessment. Needs From hands-on programs for Bermudian primary and secondary students to semester long courses for visiting college students, BIOS conducts a variety of education programs each year that better prepare the next generation for the scientific and technical challenges of the future, and that requires private support. BIOS’s yearlong Ocean Academy provides educational resources to local teachers and offers hands-on learning experiences to hundreds of students each year. BIOS also provides unique opportunities for undergraduate and graduate college students, including summer and fall courses, internships, and authentic research experiences in BIOS’s laboratories and aboard its research vessels.
