Research Careers for Minority Scholars

加州大学圣地亚哥分校提出了一项RCMS计划，以增加来自代表性不足的群体的学生获得海洋学及其相关组成领域的博士学位。该计划将有中学，本科和研究生组成部分。在中学一级，将努力改进科学教学，并为选定学校的学生提供丰富的学术知识和职业咨询。在本科阶段，该计划将包括四个要素：教师导师计划，对科学感兴趣的大一和大二学生的小型研讨会；教师导师计划，为理科生提供两学期的研究经验；一个暑期研究项目，为科学专业大三到大四的学生提供在斯克里普斯海洋学研究所（Scripps Institution of Oceanography）为期八周的暑期体验；还有一个本科生研究会议，让学生有机会公开发表研究论文。在研究生阶段，学生将参加斯克里普斯研究生课程。RCMS项目将由加州大学圣地亚哥分校斯克里普斯海洋学研究所、研究生学习和研究办公室以及本科生事务办公室联合开展。

The University of California, San Diego, proposes an RCMS program to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups who earn the Ph.D. in oceanography and its related constituent fields. The program will have secondary, undergraduate, and graduate components. At the secondary level, efforts will be made to improve science instruction and to provide academic enrichment and career counseling for students in selected schools. At the undergraduate level, the program will consist of four elements: a faculty preceptor program, small seminars for freshmen and sophomores interested in science; a faculty mentor program, two-term research experiences for juniors and seniors majoring in science; a summer research program, eight-week summer experiences at Scripps Institution of Oceanography for science majors between their junior and senior years; and an undergraduate research conference, opportunities for students to make public presentations of research papers. At the graduate level, students will be enrolled in the Scripps graduate program. The RCMS program will be carried out jointly by UCSD's Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Office of Graduate Studies and Research, and the Office of Undergraduate Affairs.
