A major need exists in the training of minority students in the sciences. Delaware State University, a public land-grant institution, provides an ideal setting for initiating a significant change in the number of appropriately prepared students. With the opening in 1995 of a new Science Center (750 sq. ft. new laboratory space dedicated to this training facility), we propose to develop programs that will train students, both undergraduate and graduate, in the uses of molecular biology techniques. We selected this area due to its broad application in biological sciences and the anticipated benefit to minority students in particular who have been traditionally under-represented in molecular biology fields. The expertise of the faculty is well suited to train students in the diverse uses of the techniques of molecular biology. Although the listed investigators will be the initial users, the facility will be open to all faculty in order to develop the scientific expertise needed for the students to become competitive in their career advancement. Obtaining this equipment and the establishment of the training facility for students will also form the basis for additional research grant moneys to enhance minority training in the sciences and allow us to more aggressively pursue industrial collaborations. The proposal specifically describes the needs and rationale for the equipment and the broad principles of training that will be used.

对少数民族学生进行理科培训是一项重大需要。特拉华州州立大学是一所公共赠地大学，它为启动适当准备的学生数量的重大变化提供了理想的环境。随着1995年新科学中心（750平方米）的开幕，英尺新的实验室空间专用于这个培训设施），我们建议开发计划，将培训学生，本科生和研究生，在分子生物学技术的使用。我们之所以选择这一领域，是因为它在生物科学中的广泛应用，以及对少数民族学生的预期益处，特别是那些传统上在分子生物学领域代表性不足的学生。教师的专业知识非常适合培养学生在分子生物学技术的各种用途。虽然列出的研究人员将是最初的用户，该设施将向所有教师开放，以发展学生在职业发展中具有竞争力所需的科学专业知识。获得这些设备和建立学生培训设施也将成为额外研究补助金的基础，以加强少数民族在科学方面的培训，并使我们能够更积极地开展工业合作。该提案具体说明了对设备的需求和理由以及将采用的培训大原则。
