This project provides funds to establish a joint facility for marine molecular biology to serve the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Marine Biological Laboratory, both located in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The facility will add a new capability for research in marine science to resident and visiting investigators at both institutions. There is a long history of marine research in Woods Hole, with important contributions from the two institutions in marine biology, biomedical science and oceanography. Particular strengths at the Marine Biological Laboratory are in the areas of physiology and biochemistry, and at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in whole animal biology and ecology. The joint facility for molecular biology and biotechnology will bring a new dimension to these institutions, allowing studies involving protein sequencing, peptide synthesis, DNA sequencing and DNA synthesis. The immediate needs for such a facility involve research objectives in molecular phylogeny and evolution, in gene regulation and environmental adaptation in marine organisms, in developmental and neurobiology of marine species, and in ecology. Combining the present strengths of year-round and visiting scientific staff with molecular biology instrumentation will create an unusual strength in marine biology at Woods Hole and will serve the marine science community for years to come.

该项目提供资金建立海洋分子生物学联合设施，为位于马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的伍兹霍尔海洋研究所和海洋生物实验室提供服务。 该设施将为这两个机构的常驻和访问研究人员增加海洋科学研究的新能力。 伍兹霍尔的海洋研究历史悠久，两个机构在海洋生物学、生物医学和海洋学方面做出了重要贡献。 海洋生物实验室的特殊优势在于生理学和生物化学领域，伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的特殊优势在于整个动物生物学和生态学。 分子生物学和生物技术联合设施将为这些机构带来新的维度，允许进行涉及蛋白质测序、肽合成、DNA 测序和 DNA 合成的研究。 对这样一个设施的直接需求涉及分子系统学和进化、海洋生物的基因调控和环境适应、海洋物种的发育和神经生物学以及生态学的研究目标。 将常年和访问科学人员的现有优势与分子生物学仪器相结合，将在伍兹霍尔的海洋生物学领域创造出不同寻常的优势，并将在未来几年为海洋科学界服务。
