南卡罗来纳大学(USC)地质科学系副教授兼海洋科学项目本科生主任贝尼特斯-纳尔逊可以将美国任何大学几乎任何领域的科学项目的统计数据联系起来。美洲原住民和拉丁裔在科学研究事业中的参与率很低，这已经不是什么秘密了。根据美国国家科学基金会提供的最新数据，虽然拉美裔、美洲原住民、阿拉斯加原住民和夏威夷原住民/太平洋岛民占美国人口的近17%，但在2004年授予的科学和工程学博士学位中，只有4%授予了拉美裔/拉丁裔，0.3%授予了美洲原住民/阿拉斯加原住民(1997年至2004年，国家科学基金会，科学资源统计司，博士生调查)。Http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/wmpd/tables/tabf-6.xls).而且，尽管参与度的重大转变仍然难以捉摸，但由于国家的努力和联邦政府资助的大多数机构的多样性计划，许多改变的关键已经到位。
Benítez-Nelson, associate professor in the Department of Geological Sciences and undergraduate director for the Marine Science Program at the University of South Carolina (USC), could be relating statistics from a science program in most any field at any college in the nation. The low participation of Native Americans and Latinos in science research careers is no secret. According to latest data available from the National Science Foundation, while Latinos, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders comprise nearly 17 percent of the population in the United States only 4 percent of the science and engineering Ph.D.s granted in 2004 went to Hispanic/Latinos and 0.3 percent to Native Americans/Alaska Natives (National Science Foundation, Division of Science Resources Statistics, Survey of Earned Doctorates, 1997–2004. http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/wmpd/tables/tabf-6.xls). And, while significant shifts in participation continue to be elusive, many of the keys to change are in place thanks to national efforts and federally funded diversity programs at most institutions.
