This UMEB program will fund 15 students each year to travel to the Fall 2005 and 2007 Estuarine Research Federation (ERF) biennial conferences to be held in Norfolk, VA, and Providence, RI, respectively. Funding will be used for participation of undergraduate students who are involved in estuarine or coastal marine research, particularly those students from groups under-represented in the sciences. In addition to their own poster presentations and to attending oral and poster sessions throughout the week, participating students will attend scheduled events including a pre-conference workshop, an initial meet-and-greet session with distinguished ERF representatives, a mixer with graduate students and scientists from the coastal NSF Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) programs, and an end-of-conference evaluation session. Through each day's events, the students and their mentors will have structured times to gather as a group and/or in individual pairs to discuss, share and ensure an educationally distinctive and rewarding learning experience. The goal is to use the ERF conference as a gateway to increase minority involvement in estuarine research, management and policy through early attraction and retention of undergraduate students into these fields. The PI (Randy Chambers), as chair of the ERF Education Committee, and his staff at the College of William and Mary will coordinate the UMEB/ERF program. For more information, students may contact Randy Chambers at [phone] or [e-mail], or visit the ERF website at http://www.erf.org.

这个UMEB计划将资助15名学生每年前往2005年秋季和2007年河口研究联合会（ERF）两年一度的会议将在诺福克，弗吉尼亚州和普罗维登斯，RI分别举行。资金将用于参与河口或沿海海洋研究的本科生，特别是那些来自科学领域代表性不足的学生。除了他们自己的海报展示和参加整个星期的口头和海报会议外，参与的学生将参加预定的活动，包括会前研讨会，与杰出的ERF代表的首次见面会，与研究生和科学家的混合器沿海NSF长期生态研究（LTER）计划，以及会议结束评估会议。通过每天的活动，学生和他们的导师将有结构化的时间聚集在一起作为一个群体和/或单独对讨论，分享和确保教育上独特和有益的学习经验。我们的目标是利用ERF会议作为一个门户，通过早期吸引和保留本科生进入这些领域，以增加少数民族参与河口研究，管理和政策。PI（兰迪钱伯斯），作为ERF教育委员会主席，和他的工作人员在威廉和玛丽学院将协调UMEB/ERF计划。 欲了解更多信息，学生可以联系兰迪钱伯斯（757）221-2331或[e-mail]，或访问ERF网站http://www.erf.org。
