This application is for renewal of the Biotechnology Training Grant first awarded to Washington State University in 1989, the first year of the NIH-funded Predoctoral Program. The grant was competitively renewed in 1994 and we now apply for the next 5-year period. Since our previous renewal, the prominence of our training faculty has been highlighted by honors including two elections to the National Academy of Sciences and our trainees have initiated a pattern of achievement. Our cross- disciplinary program has a major emphasis on protein chemistry, an area of prominence at WSU and of central importance to biotechnology. Twenty- fix faculty from six degree-grant units in four Colleges (Agriculture, Engineering, Sciences and Veterinary Medicine) provide depth and breadth in this area and will serve as preceptors for trainee research. Trainees participate in a core of training involving laboratory rotations, courses, seminars, journal clubs, industrial internships and biotechnology symposia. Of particular note are an innovate biotechnology course organized around development of biotechnology proposals by groups of students, the use of laboratory rotations to establish interdisciplinary contact and an enthusiastically received internship program. The program has significant flexibility in options for degree programs among Biochemistry/Biophysics, Chemical Engineering, Genetics and Cell Biology, Microbiology, Plant Physiology, and Veterinary Microbiology and Pathology. Each year five new trainees will enter the program. Salary support will be provided for the first two years by Training Grant funds supplemented by institutional funds and for subsequent years by institutional funds and for subsequent years by funds available to preceptors. At any one time, approximately 30 students will be involved in training. The institution is strongly committed to the training program and continues to provide financial support. The training faculty has a strong record of competitive research funding and of training productive and prominent scientists and engineers. In the initial none years, we have enrolled a diverse group of high quality students including a significant number of women and minorities. Graduated trainees have taken competitive positions as postdoctoral researchers and subsequently long-term positions in biotechnology. The program provides state-of-the-art training in basic science relevant to biotechnology and an education in the applied aspects of biotechnology, both with an emphasis on protein chemistry, and thus produces scientists and engineers with sound interdisciplinary backgrounds, qualified to meet major needs of biotechnology.

本申请是为了更新1989年首次授予华盛顿州立大学的生物技术培训补助金，这是NIH资助的博士预科项目的第一年。该补助金于1994年通过竞争性更新，我们现在申请下一个5年期。自我们上次更新以来，我们的培训教师的突出地位已经突出了荣誉，包括两次当选为美国国家科学院院士，我们的学员已经开始了成就模式。我们的跨学科课程主要强调蛋白质化学，这是WSU的一个突出领域，对生物技术至关重要。来自四所学院（农业，工程，科学和兽医）的六个学位授予单位的二十名教师在这一领域提供了深度和广度，并将担任实习研究的导师。受训人员参加核心培训，包括实验室轮换、课程、研讨会、期刊俱乐部、工业实习和生物技术专题讨论会。特别值得注意的是围绕学生群体的生物技术提案的发展组织的创新生物技术课程，使用实验室轮换建立跨学科联系和热情接受的实习计划。该计划在生物化学/生物物理学，化学工程，遗传学和细胞生物学，微生物学，植物生理学以及兽医微生物学和病理学之间的学位课程选择方面具有显着的灵活性。每年将有5名新学员进入该计划。工资支助将在头两年由培训补助金资金提供，并由机构资金补充，随后几年由机构资金提供，随后几年由教师可用资金提供。在任何时候，大约有30名学生将参加培训。该机构坚定地致力于培训计划，并继续提供财政支持。培训教师有竞争力的研究资金和培训生产力和杰出的科学家和工程师的良好记录。在最初的几年里，我们招收了一批高质量的学生，包括大量的妇女和少数民族。毕业的受训人员担任博士后研究人员的竞争性职位，随后在生物技术领域担任长期职位。该计划提供与生物技术相关的基础科学的最先进的培训和生物技术应用方面的教育，两者都强调蛋白质化学，从而培养出具有良好跨学科背景的科学家和工程师，有资格满足生物技术的主要需求。
