The Biotechnology Institute, through its Minority and Indigenous Fellows program will conduct a conference for 40 minority and indigenous students and faculty (Fellows) and their mentors preceding the 2003 Biotechnology Industry Organization's annual international convention in Washington, DC. The program is designed to broaden the information base of research students who are unfamiliar with industry practices, so that they are better prepared to make important career decisions. Faculty Fellows have opportunities to interface with industry colleagues to become better prepared to advise their students and to create greater opportunities for their students in terms of internships and collaborations. The two-day conference provides a deeper grounding in new and emerging technologies, industrial entrepreneurship, and curriculum development in biotechnology, and related sciences. Fellows are provided with insights into the practical aspects of biotechnology business, such as the process of drug and device development, staging of companies, organizational features, R&D drivers, future prospects, impacts of new technologies, regulatory issues, transitioning to commercialization, and product cycling. The Biotechnology Institute is committed to increasing the involvement of underrepresented groups in biotechnology and related scientific fields. This year, the Institute is expanding the scope of the program to include a core of researchers from the biotechnology industry who will make a one-year commitment to act as mentors and participate with their Fellow at the two-day conference and at the BIO Convention. The mentorship provides a rich resource of contacts and opportunities for faculty and student Fellows.

生物技术研究所将通过其少数民族和土著研究员方案，在2003年生物技术工业组织在华盛顿举行的年度国际会议之前，为40名少数民族和土著学生和教师（研究员）及其导师举行一次会议。该计划旨在扩大谁是不熟悉行业惯例的研究生的信息基础，使他们更好地准备作出重要的职业决策。教职员工有机会与行业同事交流，以便更好地为学生提供建议，并为学生在实习和合作方面创造更多机会。为期两天的会议提供了新的和新兴技术，工业企业家精神，生物技术和相关科学的课程开发更深入的基础。研究员提供了深入了解生物技术业务的实际方面，如药物和设备开发的过程，公司的分期，组织特征，研发驱动程序，未来前景，新技术的影响，监管问题，向商业化过渡，以及产品循环。生物技术研究所致力于增加代表性不足的群体在生物技术和相关科学领域的参与。今年，该研究所正在扩大该计划的范围，包括来自生物技术行业的核心研究人员，他们将承诺担任为期一年的导师，并与他们的研究员一起参加为期两天的会议和生物技术大会。导师制为教师和学生提供了丰富的联系资源和机会。
