This is a renewal award to support Hampton University to continue a program, in cooperation with the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO), to increase the numbers of underrepresented minorities electing careers in aquatic sciences and becoming involved in ASLO activities. The program is targeted at minority students, faculty, and professionals with interest in aquatic sciences as well as at majority faculty working at Historically Minority Colleges and Universities (HMCUs). The proposed activities include: free membership in ASLO and support to attend annual meetings for three years; pre-meeting workshop to prepare attendees for active participation in the meeting; and special sessions during the meetings for HMCU representatives to make presentations. The combined efforts of an HMCU and a professional society should provide an effective mechanism to attract minority students and get them actively interested and involved in scientific research and in professional society activities.

这是一个更新奖项，旨在支持汉普顿大学继续与美国湖沼学和海洋学学会 (ASLO) 合作开展一项计划，以增加代表性不足的少数群体选择从事水生科学职业并参与 ASLO 活动的人数。 该项目针对的是对水生科学感兴趣的少数族裔学生、教职员工和专业人士，以及在历史上少数族裔学院和大学 (HMCU) 工作的大多数教职员工。 拟议的活动包括： 免费成为 ASLO 会员并支持参加三年年会； 会前研讨会，帮助与会者做好积极参与会议的准备；会议期间还举行特别会议，供 HMCU 代表进行演讲。 HMCU 和专业协会的共同努力应提供有效的机制来吸引少数民族学生，并让他们积极感兴趣并参与科学研究和专业协会活动。
