This NSF award from the Undergraduate Mentoring in Environmental Biology (UMEB) program will support a unique partnership between Hampton University (HU) and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) of the College of William and Mary. This partnership will take form in the DREAMS (Diversity in Research in Environmental And Marine Sciences) program. Hampton University is one of the top ranked minority serving institutions in the nation. It has a history of producing successful graduates in the sciences, including a growing number in environmental biology through its Department of Marine and Environmental Science. VIMS is a major research entity that has a strong reputation for educating graduate students in coastal and environmental biology. The goals of this program are: to enhance the performance of HU undergraduate students studying environmental science, to increase enrollment and retention in HU environmental science programs, to increase the diversity of students in the VIMS graduate program, and to increase the diversity in the environmental workforce in general. DREAMS is a comprehensive program that stresses early involvement in research and strong mentoring as a way to enhance undergraduate performance and the likelihood for success in subsequent graduate training. This is of critical importance, since production of minority graduate students in the environmental sciences is well below that which would be predicted from the pool of students earning undergraduate degrees. The DREAMS program will leverage the UMEB commitment by taking advantage of three other ongoing efforts at Hampton (two sponsored by NOAA, and one by NSF), as well as a new NSF sponsored joint effort between Hampton, VIMS, and Old Dominion University to produce minority PhD's in the ocean sciences.

本科生指导环境生物学（UMEB）计划的NSF奖将支持汉普顿大学（HU）与威廉和玛丽学院的弗吉尼亚海洋科学研究所（VIMS）之间的独特伙伴关系。 这种伙伴关系将在梦想（环境和海洋科学研究的多样性）计划中形成。 汉普顿大学是美国排名最高的少数族裔服务机构之一。 它具有在科学领域成功毕业生的历史，包括通过其海洋和环境科学系在环境生物学方面的数量越来越多。 VIMS是一个主要的研究实体，在沿海和环境生物学的研究生教育研究生方面享有很高的声誉。 该计划的目标是：提高HU本科生学习环境科学的表现，增加在HU环境科学计划中的入学率和保留率，以增加VIMS研究生课程中学生的多样性，并增加一般环境劳动力的多样性。梦想是一个综合计划，强调早期参与研究和强大的指导，以此来提高本科表现以及在随后的研究生培训中成功的可能性。 这是至关重要的，因为环境科学中少数群体研究生的生产远低于从学业学位的学生库中预测的少数群体。 梦想计划将利用汉普顿的另外三项持续努力（由NOAA赞助，一项由NSF赞助）以及一项新的NSF赞助的联合努力来利用UMEB的承诺，并在汉普顿，VIMS和Old Dominion University之间进行了新的NSF赞助的共同努力，以生产海洋科学的少数派博士学位。
