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.

斯坦福大学的霍普金斯海洋站（HMS） 成立于1892年，并已连续运营一年- 自1917年以来一直拥有常驻教师的圆形设施。 它位于 位于加州的太平洋格罗夫，距离斯坦福大学校园90英里。 它的场地占地11英亩，有一英里长的海岸线， 保存了世界上最丰富的潮间带环境之一 加州海岸。 该站有7名常驻教师， 来自主校区的其他六名教员也维护着实验室 在HMS。 HMS的一项重大新努力，将通过建立一个 目前正在规划阶段的大型新建筑是 应用现代分子技术解决基本问题 海洋生物学和生物海洋学的问题。 的 HMS的常驻和非常驻教师是这一新领域的领导者 研究前沿 这个奖项将购买一些必要的 设备（超浓缩仪、凝胶盒、显微镜等）为 用于海洋生物技术研究。 斯坦福大学将承诺在 至少70万美元的配套资金，以确保这一令人兴奋的新 冒险成功。 此外，斯坦福大学已拨出大量资金， 未来几年用于新教师职位的资金，设立基金， 实验室翻新和设施技术支持 在HMS。
