DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Biotechnology training program at the University of Minnesota has been in existence for fifteen years. This program has brought together gifted trainees and faculty trainers from diverse disciplines that interface with biotechnology, and has created an innovative, interdisciplinary research and educational endeavor. In this renewal application, we propose to continue our success in training future scientific leaders in biotechnology. An emphasis in the next training grant period will be on the application of systems analysis approaches to biological processes. It is an area of critical importance to future innovations and discoveries in biotechnology, and represents an area that is uniquely suited for the combined expertise of our training faculty. During the next five years, we will intensify our interdisciplinary education and training by spearheading efforts to create new interdisciplinary courses "Systems Analysis of Biological Processes" and "Biological Mathematics", and to immerse our trainees in a Biology summer camp and in cross disciplinary workshops, symposia and retreats. Mechanisms are already in place to facilitate trainee's gaining practical "real world" biotechnology perspectives through internships and other industrial interactions. We continue to emphasize cultural and racial diversity in our training program by implementing measures to facilitate inclusion of trainees from underrepresented racial groups. Specifically a summer visiting professor program is established to invite faculty members and the students to join the training program in the summer. Mandatory training for responsible research conduct is in place. Furthermore, we will continue to emphasize giving our trainees a global perspective through our international exchange program. The proposed training program will produce well rounded Ph.D. engineers and scientists to lead our country's biotechnology advances in future generations.

描述（由申请人提供）：明尼苏达大学的生物技术培训计划已经存在了十五年。该计划汇集了来自不同学科的有天赋的学员和教师培训人员，这些学科与生物技术相结合，并创造了一个创新的跨学科研究和教育奋进。在这次更新申请中，我们建议继续我们在培养未来生物技术科学领导者方面的成功。下一个培训补助金期间的重点将是将系统分析方法应用于生物过程。这是一个对未来生物技术创新和发现至关重要的领域，代表了一个独特的适合我们培训教师的综合专业知识的领域。在接下来的五年里，我们将加强我们的跨学科教育和培训，率先努力创建新的跨学科课程“生物过程的系统分析”和“生物数学”，并使我们的学员沉浸在生物学夏令营和跨学科研讨会，研讨会和务虚会中。已经建立了各种机制，通过实习和其他工业互动，帮助受训者获得实际的“真实的世界”生物技术观点。我们继续强调文化和种族多样性，在我们的培训计划，通过实施措施，以促进来自代表性不足的种族群体的学员的包容性。特别是一个夏季访问教授计划，邀请教师和学生参加夏季培训计划。开展负责任的研究行为的强制性培训。此外，我们将继续强调通过我们的国际交流计划为我们的学员提供全球视野。拟议的培训计划将产生全面的博士学位。工程师和科学家，带领我们国家的生物技术进步的后代。
