Expanding Linkages Between Under-Represented Minorities and Careers in Aquatic Sciences-III

9616691库克这个项目代表着一个正在进行的开创性计划的更新，该计划旨在增加在水生科学领域选择职业的人数不足的少数族裔。该计划面向对水生科学感兴趣的少数族裔学生、教师和专业人员，以及在历史上少数族裔学院和大学(HMCU)工作的大多数教师。该方案是与美国湖泊和海洋学会(ASLO)联合开展的，该学会为方案参与者提供免费会员资格，包括订阅学会期刊《湖泊和海洋》。参与者通过正式程序申请参加该计划，那些被选中的人将获得参加ASLO年会和参加特别预先规划研讨会的旅费和每日津贴支持。强烈鼓励参与者在定期会议和专门为他们组织的会议上介绍他们参与的任何研究方案的结果。本计划将培养过去参与者的进一步发展，并将新的学生群体纳入到这一过程中。自1990年该项目开始以来，它已经为222名学生和16名教师导师提供了支持。通过行之有效的和一些新颖的方法，该项目将加强和扩大少数群体学生与水产科学界之间的联系。***

9616691 Cuker This project represents a renewal of an ongoing pioneering program which seeks to increase the number of under- represented minorities electing careers in aquatic sciences. The program targets minority students, faculty, and professionals interested in aquatic sciences, as well as majority faculty working at Historically Minority Colleges and Universities (HMCU's). The program is run in conjunction with the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO)which provides program participants with free membership to the society including a subscription to the societies Journal, "Limnology and Oceanography". Participants apply through a formal process for participation in the program and those selected are provided with travel and per diem support to participate in the Annual ASLO meeting and to attend special pre-planning workshops. Participants are strongly encouraged to present the results of any research programs they are involved with both in the regular sessions and sessions specifically organized for them. The present program will cultivate the further development of past participants and incorporate new cohorts of students into the process. Since the programs beginnings in 1990, it has supported 222 students and 16 faculty mentors. Through both proven and some novel approaches this project will strengthen and expand the linkages between minority students and the aquatic science community. ***
