Students who may never have dreamed of studying the sciences will get the chance thanks to an $892,000 grant awarded to Humboldt State by the National Science Foundation. It’s for recruitment and training of under-represented minorities.
“The opportunity for students to work closely with a faculty mentor, on a research project spanning two years, will serve as a springboard for students to pursue careers involving scientific research in biological sciences,” said Professor Matthew Johnson, chairman of the Department of Wildlife and member of the Undergraduate Research Mentoring Program in the Biological Sciences.
