Expanding Linkages Between Under-Represented Minorities and Careers in Aquatic Sciences-III

小行星9616691 该项目代表了一个正在进行的开拓性计划的更新，该计划旨在增加选择水产科学职业的代表性不足的少数民族的数量。 该计划针对少数民族学生，教师和对水产科学感兴趣的专业人士，以及在历史上少数民族学院和大学（HMCU）工作的多数教师。该计划与美国湖沼学和海洋学协会（ASLO）合作，该协会为计划参与者提供免费会员资格，包括订阅协会期刊“湖沼学和海洋学”。 参与者通过正式程序申请参加该计划，被选中的人将获得旅行和每日津贴支持，以参加年度ASLO会议并参加特别的预先规划研讨会。强烈鼓励参与者在常规会议和专门为他们组织的会议上介绍他们参与的任何研究项目的结果。目前的计划将培养过去的参与者的进一步发展，并将新的学生群体纳入这一进程。自1990年该计划开始以来，它已支持222名学生和16名教师导师。该项目将通过行之有效的方法和一些新的方法，加强和扩大少数民族学生与水产科学界之间的联系。 ***

9616691 Cuker This project represents a renewal of an ongoing pioneering program which seeks to increase the number of under- represented minorities electing careers in aquatic sciences. The program targets minority students, faculty, and professionals interested in aquatic sciences, as well as majority faculty working at Historically Minority Colleges and Universities (HMCU's). The program is run in conjunction with the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO)which provides program participants with free membership to the society including a subscription to the societies Journal, "Limnology and Oceanography". Participants apply through a formal process for participation in the program and those selected are provided with travel and per diem support to participate in the Annual ASLO meeting and to attend special pre-planning workshops. Participants are strongly encouraged to present the results of any research programs they are involved with both in the regular sessions and sessions specifically organized for them. The present program will cultivate the further development of past participants and incorporate new cohorts of students into the process. Since the programs beginnings in 1990, it has supported 222 students and 16 faculty mentors. Through both proven and some novel approaches this project will strengthen and expand the linkages between minority students and the aquatic science community. ***
