 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Training Program in Marine Biotechnology This renewal application for a Training Program (TP) in Marine Biotechnology at UC San Diego represents the third cycle of requested support for this unique program. As a discipline, marine biotechnology has seen considerable advancement in recent years with an increasing number of valuable products being derived from or inspired by marine life forms. Hence, this TP has the goal of training a diverse workforce with the appropriate multidisciplinary education to work at the confluence of marine science, organic chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, genomics, cell biology, and computational science. In this immediately past cycle of 4 years, we demonstrated that the program could operate as envisioned by both the TP leadership and the NIH with a superb group of highly talented and enthusiastic trainees, one---third of whom are members of underrepresented minority groups. These trainees are participating in a robust curriculum in Marine Biotechnology, involved in a student---run invited seminar speaker program and year---end research retreat, have completed their Responsible Conduct in Research training on time, and have engaged in the unique Industrial Internship feature of the program during their period of NIH trainee support. In this renewal application, four senior faculty no longer involved in graduate student training have retired from the TP, and five new and diverse faculty in sciences related to marine biotechnology have been added. This Training Program has developed considerable campus recognition, and is highly appreciated and supported by campus administration, including generous matching funds as detailed in this proposal and support letters. The proposed path forward for this TP in the next cycle involves additional solidification of the policies and procedures of this training program, further enhancement of our underrepresented minority and people with disabilities recruitment, and refinement of the running of the program with greater use of our External Advisory Committee and other participant feedback.

 描述（由申请人提供）：海洋生物技术培训计划 在海洋生物技术培训计划（TP）在加州大学圣地亚哥分校的更新申请代表了这个独特的程序所要求的支持的第三个周期。 作为一门学科，海洋生物技术近年来取得了相当大的进展，越来越多的有价值的产品来自海洋生物形式或受到海洋生物形式的启发。 因此，该TP的目标是培养具有适当多学科教育的多元化劳动力，以在海洋科学，有机化学，生物化学，药理学，基因组学，细胞生物学和计算科学的融合中工作。在刚刚过去的4年周期中，我们证明了该计划可以按照TP领导层和NIH的设想运作，拥有一群才华横溢、充满热情的受训者，其中三分之一是代表性不足的少数群体成员。 这些学员正在参加海洋生物技术的强大课程，参与学生-运行邀请研讨会演讲者计划和年终研究务虚会，按时完成了他们的负责任行为研究培训，并在NIH学员支持期间参与了该计划的独特工业实习功能。 在这次更新申请中，四名不再参与研究生培训的高级教师已经从TP退休，并增加了五名与海洋生物技术相关的科学新的和多样化的教师。 这个培训计划已经发展了相当大的校园认可，并高度赞赏和校园管理的支持，包括慷慨的配套资金，详细说明在这个建议和支持信。 在下一个周期中，该培训计划的拟议前进道路涉及进一步巩固该培训计划的政策和程序，进一步加强我们代表性不足的少数民族和残疾人的招聘，并通过更多地利用我们的外部咨询委员会和其他参与者的反馈来完善该计划的运行。
