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

汉普顿大学和美国湖泊和海洋学会(ASLO)提议为一项计划提供新的资金，以增加选择水生科学职业的人数不足的少数族裔的数量。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。与会者获得了ASLO的免费会员资格，并获得了参加年会和特别会前讲习班的支助。目前的提案将促进过去参与者的发展，并在2000-2004年期间将新的学生群体纳入这一进程。自1990年该计划启动以来，已有300多名学生和20多名导师参加了该计划。在过去的十年里，参与者来自100多个不同的机构，仅1999年的项目就有31所不同的学院和大学。库克博士根据他在这个项目中的工作获得了1999年的皮尤奖学金。

Hampton University and the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) propose renewed funding for a program to increase the numbers 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). Participants received a free membership in ASLO and support to attend the annual meetings and special pre-meeting workshops. The present proposal will cultivate the development of past participants and incorporate new cohorts of students into the process during the years 2000-2004. Since the initiation of the program in 1990, over 300 students and 20 mentors have participated in the program. Participants were drawn from over 100 different institutions in the past ten years, with 31 different colleges and universities in the 1999 program alone. Dr. Cuker received a 1999 PEW Fellowship based on his work with this project.
