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.

汉普顿大学、老道明大学、威廉玛丽学院海洋科学学院、弗吉尼亚海洋科学研究所正在合作，通过霍尔-邦纳海洋科学少数族裔博士学者项目，从代表性不足的少数群体中培养大量的海洋科学家和海洋学家博士。H-B项目建立在培养海洋科学少数民族学生的成功合作记录的基础上。其理念是，一个高度集中、相互交流的少数民族学生群体，比分散在各种机构中的孤立个体更能培养个人成功。结构化的课程通过课程作业和论文研究为学生提供支持。支持包括：津贴、学费、广泛的培训、一些共享课程、定期小组会议、特别研讨会、近同龄人指导以及接触少数族裔导师。其他的专业发展活动包括参加K-12外展活动和指导年轻学生，参加全国会议，指导资助和第一个博士后职位的过程。H-B项目的续期资金被用于在合作机构的研究生海洋科学项目中招收临界数量的少数民族学生，并实现项目基础设施的可持续性。
