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

汉普顿大学、老道明大学和弗吉尼亚海洋科学研究所威廉和玛丽学院海洋科学学院正在合作，通过霍尔-邦纳少数族裔博士学者海洋科学计划，从人数较少的少数族裔群体中培养出大量的海洋科学家和海洋学家。H-B项目建立在成功合作培训少数族裔学生海洋科学方面的既定记录的基础上。其概念是，与分散在各种机构中的孤立个人相比，高度集中、相互作用的少数族裔学生群体将培养更多的个人成功。这个结构化的项目通过课程和论文研究为学生提供支持。支持包括：津贴，学费，广泛的指导，一些共享的课程作业，定期的小组会议，特别研讨会，近距离同行指导，以及接触少数族裔导师。其他专业发展活动包括参加K-12外联活动和对年轻学生的指导，参加国家会议，指导资助人精神和获得第一个博士后职位的过程。H-B项目的续签资金被用于接触到合作机构海洋科学研究生项目的大量少数族裔学生，并实现该项目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.
