Minorities are greatly underrepresented in careers in science, particularly the GEO sciences. A two-year integrated, cooperative, program designed to encourage approximately 70 minority students to learn about, and pursue, professional careers in ocean earth and environmental sciences will be developed. The program has a college component that will provide carefully selected minority students with: a) a summer of supervised exposure to scientific research; b) academic year stipends, along with mentoring and encouragement; c) an intensive summer enrichment program and continuing research involvement in a second summer; and d) a second academic year of support, encouragement, and assistance with applications to graduate school. Two Historically Minority Colleges and Universities, Elizabeth City State University and Pembroke State University, will participate actively in this program.

少数族裔在科学领域，尤其是地球地质科学领域的代表性严重不足。一个为期两年的综合合作项目，旨在鼓励大约70名少数民族学生学习和从事海洋地球和环境科学方面的专业工作。该项目有一个大学组成部分，将为精心挑选的少数民族学生提供：a)在监督下进行暑期科学研究；B)学年津贴，以及指导和鼓励；C)一个密集的夏季充实计划，并在第二个夏天继续参与研究；d)第二学年的支持、鼓励和帮助申请研究生院。伊丽莎白市立大学和彭布罗克州立大学这两所历史上的少数民族学院和大学将积极参与这一项目。
