This project provides approximately 14 scholarships each year during the 4.5-year grant period to academically talented, low-income Biology/Biotechnology undergraduate and graduate students at William Paterson University. The project goals include increasing the number of Biology/Biotechnology majors entering research and education careers; increasing the retention and graduation rates of all Biology/Biotechnology students; increasing the number of minority students in the Biology/Biotechnology Graduate programs by 25%; and increasing the number of Biology/Biotechnology Masters degree recipients. The project supports tutoring, mentoring, faculty-guided research experiences, career guidance and internships for the scholarship recipients. The project addresses regional and national needs, and enhances the Biology/Biotechnology programs at the University by providing opportunities for graduate education for traditionally underrepresented groups. The project results are being disseminated in various ways such as project reports and University publications and press releases to regional media outlets.

该项目在4。5年的赠款期间，每年为学术才华，低收入生物学/生物技术本科生和威廉·帕特森大学（William Paterson University）的研究生提供大约14个奖学金。 项目目标包括增加进入研究和教育职业的生物学/生物技术专业的数量；提高所有生物学/生物技术学生的保留率和毕业率；将生物学/生物技术研究生课程中的少数族裔学生数量增加25％；并增加生物学/生物技术硕士学位的接受者的数量。 该项目支持奖学金获得者的辅导，指导，教师指导的研究经验，职业指导和实习。 该项目解决了区域和国家需求，并通过为传统代表性不足的群体提供研究生教育的机会来增强大学的生物学/生物技术计划。 该项目的结果以各种方式传播，例如项目报告和大学出版物，并将新闻稿发送给区域媒体。
