UMES Undergraduate Marine Science Support Program

少数群体在科学界，特别是在海洋科学中的代表性不足。少数族裔在海洋科学中的代表性很小，这导致美国东南部海洋实验室的一群主任联系了他们在历史上少数族裔学院和大学(HMCU)的同事，看看可以做些什么来提高少数族裔学生对海洋科学职业的兴趣。为此，将在马里兰大学东岸分校启动一项计划，让学生在大学生涯的早期就参与海洋科学。该计划的目的是以津贴的方式提供支持，并通过学年的课程作业和暑期的全职实验室研究经验来培养和扩大学生对海洋科学的兴趣。//

Minorities are inadequately represented in the sciences generally, and in marine science in particular. The small minority representation in marine science, led a group of Directors of Marine Laboratories in the southeastern U.S. to approach their colleagues at Historically Minority Colleges and Universities (HMCUs) to see what could be done to increase minority student interest in marine science careers. To this end, a program will be initiated at the University of Maryland, Eastern Shore, an HMCU, to involve students in marine science early in their college career. The intent of the program is to provide support, by way of stipends, and to nurture and expand the student's interest in marine science through course work during the academic year and full time laboratory research experiences during the summer.//
