Multicultural Diversity in the Aquatic Sciences

这一奖项为汉普顿大学提供资金，以继续开展一项旨在增加学生数量的计划，特别是选择水产科学职业的少数族裔学生。该计划招募少数民族学生和REU学生，对水产科学感兴趣的教员和专业人员，以及在历史少数民族学院和大学(HMCU)工作的教员。与会者获得了湖沼学和海洋学科学协会的免费会员资格，并获得了参加年度会议和特别会前讲习班的支助，这些会议和讲习班的重点是当前的海洋学或湖沼学研究以及科学领域的职业发展。目前的建议将培养过去参与者的发展，并纳入新的学生群体。

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.
