The Hopkins Marine Station (HMS) of Stanford University was founded in 1892 and has been in continuous operation as a year- round facility with resident faculty since 1917. It is located in Pacific Grove, California, 90 miles from the Stanford campus. Its site consists of 11 acres with one mile of shoreline that preserves one of the richest pieces of intertidal environment on the California coast. The Station has seven resident faculty and six other faculty members from the main campus also maintain labs at HMS. A major new effort at HMS, to be supported by erection of a large new building currently in the planning stage, is the application of modern molecular techniques to address fundamental questions in marine biology and biological oceanography. The resident and non-resident faculty of HMS are leaders in this new research frontier. This award will purchase some essential equipment (ultracentrifuges, gel boxes, microscopes, etc.) for use in marine biotechnological research. Stanford will commit at least $700,000 in matching funds to ensure that this exciting new adventure succeeds. Moreover, Stanford has earmarked substantial funds in future years for new faculty positions, set-up funds, laboratory renovations and technical support for the facilities at HMS.

斯坦福大学霍普金斯海洋站 (HMS) 成立于 1892 年，自 1917 年以来一直作为常驻教师持续运营的全年设施。它位于加利福尼亚州太平洋格罗夫，距离斯坦福大学校园 90 英里。 其场地占地 11 英亩，海岸线长达 1 英里，保留了加州海岸最丰富的潮间带环境之一。 该站有七名常驻教职人员，主校区的其他六名教职人员也在 HMS 设有实验室。 HMS 的一项重大新努力是应用现代分子技术来解决海洋生物学和生物海洋学的基本问题，目前正在规划阶段建造一座大型新建筑。 HMS 的常驻和非常驻教师都是这一新研究领域的领导者。 该奖项将购买一些用于海洋生物技术研究的必要设备（超速离心机、凝胶盒、显微镜等）。 斯坦福大学将投入至少 70 万美元的配套资金，以确保这一激动人心的新冒险取得成功。 此外，斯坦福大学已在未来几年拨出大量资金，用于新的教职职位、设立资金、实验室翻新以及对哈佛商学院设施的技术支持。
