Multicultural Diversity in the Aquatic Sciences

该奖项为汉普顿大学提供资金，以继续开展一个旨在增加学生数量的项目，特别是少数族裔学生，他们选择了水产科学领域的职业。该计划招募少数民族学生和REU学生，对水生科学感兴趣的教师和专业人士，以及在历史上少数民族学院和大学（HMCU）工作的教师。与会者获得了湖沼学和海洋学科学协会（ASLO）的免费会员资格，并获得了参加年度会议和特别会前讲习班的支助，这些会议的重点是目前的海洋学或湖沼学研究以及在这些科学领域的职业发展。目前的建议将促进过去学员的发展，并吸纳新学员。

This award provides funding to Hampton University to continue a program that aims to increase the number of students, particularly under-represented minority students, electing careers in aquatic sciences. The program recruits minority students and REU students, faculty and professionals interested in aquatic sciences, as well as faculty working at Historically Minority Colleges and Universities (HMCU). Participants received a free membership in the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) and support to attend the annual meetings and special pre-meeting workshops that focus on current oceanographic or limnology research and on career advancement in the sciences. The present proposal will cultivate the development of past participants and incorporate new cohorts of students.
