Blockstein Funding is requested for a one day program, "Minorities in Biology: Opportunities for Growth" to be held August 8, 1990 at the 41st annual meeting of AIBS in Richmond, Virginia. The program will consist of a morning program for high school students in the local region, a buffet lunch for high school students and teachers, an afternoon symposium, and an evening reception for all participants in the meeting. The goals of the program include: 1. To inform high school and college students of ethnic minority groups about career opportunities in biology; 2. to increase contact between ethnic minority biologists, especially at historically black colleges and universities, and other professional biologists; and 3. to raise the awareness among professional biologists of issues, concerns, and opportunities regarding ethnic minorities in biology.

Blockstein被要求为1990年8月8日在弗吉尼亚州里士满举行的AIBS第41届年会上举行的为期一天的“生物学中的少数群体：成长的机会”项目提供资金。该计划将包括为当地高中生提供的上午计划，为高中生和教师提供的自助午餐，下午的研讨会，以及为所有与会者举行的晚间招待会。该计划的目标包括：1.向少数民族高中生和大学生介绍生物学领域的就业机会；2.增加少数民族生物学家，特别是历史上黑人高校的少数民族生物学家与其他专业生物学家的联系；3.提高专业生物学家对少数民族在生物学领域的问题、关切和机会的认识。
