This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).Hampton University and the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) will continue to manage a program with the goal of increasing the numbers of under-represented minorities and under-served students who choose to pursue careers in aquatic sciences. This program is known as the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography Multicultural Program (ASLOMP), and organizers seek to select diverse cohorts of students and match these students with professionals who act as mentors. Participants receive a free membership in ASLO and support to attend the annual ASLO Winter meeting as well as special pre-meeting workshops. This award provides three years of support (2022-2024) for ASLOMP. ASLOMP objectives are to:1. Expose students who are from a wide spectrum of ethnicities and backgrounds to cutting edge aquatic science through fully supporting their active participation in ASLO meetings where they also present their own research work.2. Link diverse cohorts of students to opportunities for internships, advanced studies, special programs, and potential employment through interactions at ASLO meetings. 3. Continue to support new cohorts of students from under-represented groups and to support their participation in the networks of aquatic scientists.4. Support the participation of scientists from under-represented groups to serve as mentors for the program and to serve in ASLO leadership positions.The program uses an expansive understanding of multiculturalism and allocates about thirty of the sixty-five slots for students associated with the NSF-funded Ocean Sciences Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) sites. This allows all involved to increase cross-cultural competencies. ASLOMP uses a suite of special activities to enrich participant’s experiences, including keynote addresses, opening dinners, field-trips, a student symposium, and systematic support through a system of meeting-mentors.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项全部或部分由2021年美国救援计划法案（公法117-2）资助。汉普顿大学和湖沼学和海洋学科学协会（ASLO）将继续管理一项计划，目标是增加选择从事水产科学职业的代表性不足的少数民族和服务不足的学生人数。该计划被称为湖沼学和海洋学多元文化计划科学协会（ASLOMP），组织者试图选择不同的学生群体，并将这些学生与担任导师的专业人士相匹配。参与者将获得ASLO的免费会员资格，并支持参加年度ASLO冬季会议以及特别会前研讨会。该奖项为ASLOMP提供三年（2022-2024）的支持。ASLOMP的目标是：1。通过全力支持学生积极参与ASLO会议，让来自不同种族和背景的学生接触前沿的水产科学，在ASLO会议上他们也会展示自己的研究工作。通过ASLO会议上的互动，将不同的学生群体与实习、深造、特殊课程和潜在就业机会联系起来。3.继续支持来自代表性不足群体的新学生群体，并支持他们参加水产科学家网络。支持来自代表性不足的群体的科学家参与担任该计划的导师，并担任ASLO领导职位。该计划使用对多元文化的广泛理解，并将65个名额中的30个分配给与NSF资助的海洋科学研究经验（REU）相关的学生。这使所有参与者都能提高跨文化能力。ASLOMP通过一系列特殊活动来丰富参与者的经验，包括主题演讲、开幕晚宴、实地考察、学生研讨会以及通过会议导师系统提供的系统支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
