Minority Training Program in Marine Sciences

在科学领域，尤其是海洋科学领域，少数族裔的代表人数并不多。目前正在作出相当大的努力，以增加代表性不足的少数民族参与海洋科学。这是杜克大学海洋实验室为期两年的海洋科学培训项目。它包括为大学三年级或四年级的本科生提供一个学期的住宿计划，为学生提供全面的教育和研究经验。这与一名驻校导师和教学助理相结合，他们将作为导师和榜样。它还包括一个访问学者项目，每年四名少数民族科学家将花几天时间在校园里与学生互动。

Minorities are not well represented in careers in science, particularly the marine sciences. Considerable effort is being made to increase the participation of underrepresented minorities in marine science. This renewal is a two-year training program in marine sciences at the Duke University Marine Laboratory. It includes a semester-in-residence program for undergraduates in their junior or senior year of college, which provides a comprehensive educational and research experience for the students. This is combined with a mentor-in-residence and instructional assistant, who will function as tutors and role models. It also includes a visiting-scholar program in which each year four minority scientists will spend several days on campus interacting with the students.
