Expansion of Ph.D. training within the Department of Biology at Howard University specifically in the area of plant biology is proposed. The department has a significant group of botany faculty which reflect a broad range of research areas. This department (and the University as a whole) has made significant contributions in the area of minority graduate education in science over the years. Also, Howard University has a rich history of academic excellence and serving as a leader among minority institutions. Given these considerations, further development of a consortium network with sister undergraduate institutions is described here: the purpose of this arrangement is to direct talented students toward graduate education and the specific area of plant biology. This project has the potential for unmatched impact in producing minority plant scientists.

建议在霍华德大学生物系内扩大博士培训，特别是在植物生物学领域。该系拥有一支重要的植物学教师队伍，反映了广泛的研究领域。多年来，这个系（以及整个大学）在少数民族科学研究生教育领域做出了重大贡献。此外，霍华德大学有着丰富的学术成就历史，并在少数族裔院校中处于领先地位。考虑到这些因素，这里描述了与姐妹本科院校的联盟网络的进一步发展：这种安排的目的是指导有才华的学生接受研究生教育和植物生物学的特定领域。这个项目在培养少数民族植物科学家方面具有无可比拟的潜力。
