Collaborative Research: A Linked Initiative for Developing Minority Doctoral Scholars in Ocean Sciences, Phase 2

汉普顿大学、老自治领大学、威廉和玛丽海洋科学学院、弗吉尼亚海洋科学研究所正在联手培养大量的博士学位。海洋科学家和海洋学家从代表性不足的少数群体通过霍尔邦纳计划少数民族博士学者在海洋科学计划。H-B计划建立在成功合作的基础上，在海洋科学领域培养少数民族学生。这个概念是，一个高度集中，互动的少数民族学生群体将促进更多的个人成功比孤立的个人分散在各种机构。结构化的程序通过课程和论文研究支持学生。支持包括：津贴，学费，广泛的方向，一些共享的课程工作，定期小组会议，特别研讨会，近同行指导，并接触少数民族导师。其他专业发展活动包括参加K-12外联活动和指导年轻学生，参加国家会议，并指导granitary和导致第一个博士后职位的过程。H-B计划的更新资金用于在合作机构的研究生海洋科学课程中达到少数民族学生的临界质量，并实现计划基础设施的可持续性。

Hampton University, Old Dominion University, and the College of William and Mary's School of Marine Science, Virginia Institute of Marine Science, are teaming together to produce significant numbers of Ph.D. marine scientists and oceanographers from underrepresented minority groups through the Hall-Bonner Program for Minority Doctoral Scholars in Ocean Sciences program. The H-B program builds upon an established record of successful cooperation in training minority students in the ocean sciences. The concept is that a highly concentrated, interacting group of minority students will foster more individual success than isolated individuals dispersed among a variety of institutions. The structured program supports the students through coursework and dissertation research. Support includes: a stipend, tuition, an extensive orientation, some shared course work, regular group meetings, special seminars, near-peer mentoring, and exposure to minority mentors. Additional professional development activities include participation in K-12 outreach activities and mentoring of younger students, participation in national meetings, and guidance in grantsmanship and the process leading to the first post-doctoral positions. Renewal funding for the H-B program is being used to reach a critical mass of minority students in graduate marine science programs at the partner institutions and achieve sustainability of the program infrastructure.
