This proposal addresses the national problem of finding viable minority applicants to match with graduate programs/fellowship study opportuni- ties. The proposal requests funds from The National Science Foundation to design and establish a nationwide data-base clearinghouse to match funding sources, graduate programs and minority student applicants. The objectives of the data-base clearinghouse are: 1) to centralize information on graduate study opportunities for minority students to facilitate matching funds/programs/applicants; 2) improve the distri- bution of existing resources; and, 3) serve a wider range of students to increase the representation of minority students in graduate programs. The project will result in subscribers - graduate schools, minority students and fellowship programs - being able to access the data-base from anywhere in the country through telecommunication hookups and thus, be able to locate highly qualified minority applicants.

该提案解决了寻找可行的少数民族申请人以匹配研究生课程/奖学金学习机会的国家问题。该提案要求美国国家科学基金会提供资金，设计并建立一个全国性的数据库交换中心，以匹配资金来源、研究生项目和少数民族学生申请者。数据库交换中心的目标是：1)集中少数民族学生的研究生学习机会信息，以促进配对基金/项目/申请人；2)改善现有资源的配置；3)为更广泛的学生提供服务，以增加少数民族学生在研究生项目中的代表性。该项目将使研究生院、少数民族学生和奖学金项目的用户能够通过电信连接从全国任何地方访问数据库，从而能够找到高素质的少数民族申请人。
