The Diversity Project

For the fifth consecutive year, we will be running The Diversity Project, an NSF funded research opportunity designed to increase participation of under-represented undergraduate students in the marine sciences. In collaboration between Boston University, Duke University, Old Dominion University and UCLA, students will integrate hands-on field research in the Coral Triangle with cutting edge genetic research. The project will explore the origins marine biodiversity in the Coral Triangle in an effort to improve conservation of this remarkable ecosystems. Students are fully funded for both living and travel expenses.

This research opportunity has been a remarkable personal and professional experience for the students who have participated. Please encourage any students whom you believe would benefit from such an experience to apply.
Applications are due January 15, 2009.
