This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).Science Master's Program: Creation of a New Master's Program in Medical and Industrial Biotechnology (PI: DeLisa; Lead Institution: Cornell University)Biotechnology is widely recognized as one of the key enabling technologies of the 21st century with potential applications in numerous diverse industries including health and medicine (diagnosing, treating and preventing disease), agriculture (genetic engineering of plants and animals for food and fiber), energy (biofuels and bio-based products), and manufacturing (food processing and chemical engineering). From an economic development perspective, biotechnology is a desirable industry because biotechnology firms have the potential to generate high-paying, high-skill jobs. However, as a knowledge-based industry, biotechnology is largely dependent on the availability of specially trained professionals, particularly research scientists, engineers and technicians. Thus, this proposal seeks to cultivate the next generation of highly trained US graduate students who meet the growing needs of biotechnology employers and are prepared for careers in an area of significant employment growth. To accomplish this goal, a new master?s degree in Medical and Industrial Biotechnology will be created at Cornell University. This program has been specifically designed to introduce graduate trainees to the broad, interdisciplinary nature of the biotechnology industry by integrating a curriculum of modern biology, bioengineering and business courses with in-depth, hands-on biotechnology research training. This program will actively and aggressively broaden participation in science and engineering by working seamlessly with Cornell?s Diversity Programs in Engineering. With assistance from a 15-member industrial advisory board and over 40 faculty from 19 academic departments at Cornell, every effort will be made to recruit the most talented US citizens from diverse disciplines ranging from engineering to the physical and life sciences.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案资助的（公法111-5）。科学硕士课程：在医疗和工业生物技术新硕士课程的创建（PI：DeLisa;牵头机构：康奈尔大学）生物技术被广泛认为是21世纪世纪的关键技术之一，在许多不同的行业中具有潜在的应用，医学（诊断、治疗和预防疾病）、农业（植物和动物的基因工程作为食物和纤维）、能源（生物燃料和生物基产品）和制造业（食品加工和化学工程）。从经济发展的角度来看，生物技术是一个理想的产业，因为生物技术公司有潜力创造高薪、高技能的工作。然而，作为一个以知识为基础的产业，生物技术在很大程度上取决于是否有受过专门训练的专业人员，特别是研究科学家、工程师和技术人员。因此，该提案旨在培养下一代训练有素的美国研究生，他们满足生物技术雇主日益增长的需求，并为就业增长显著的领域的职业生涯做好准备。为了实现这个目标，一个新的主人？康奈尔大学将设立医学和工业生物技术学位。该计划是专门设计的，通过将现代生物学，生物工程和商业课程的课程与深入的实践生物技术研究培训相结合，向研究生学员介绍生物技术行业的广泛，跨学科性质。该计划将积极和积极地扩大参与科学和工程的无缝工作与康奈尔大学？在工程的多样性计划。在康奈尔大学19个学术部门的15名成员组成的工业顾问委员会和40多名教师的帮助下，将尽一切努力从工程、物理和生命科学等不同学科中招募最有才华的美国公民。
