DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Training in molecular biotechnology is essential for an expanding list of disciplines that have found modern biology--based skills of critical importance in pursuing research goals in areas ranging from biochemistry to chemical engineering to plant biology. Recognizing this, NC State University has created a core education facility that serves campus--wide needs for graduate students requiring laboratory -- based training in aspects of modern biology. This not only facilitates completion of the students' dissertation research, but also lays the basis for career opportunities in academic, government and industrial research settings. Using this campus educational resource as a framework, NC State University proposes to continue a graduate level training program in molecular biotechnology that will involve students from at least 4 colleges and 12 university departments. Seven trainee slots are requested for the next training period, which will be augmented by 3 slots funded from university resources. The program requirements include completing: (1) a graduate level, laboratory minor in molecular biotechnology; (2) an off--campus industrial internship; (3) a capstone biotechnology design course; (4) a course in professional development; (5) a course in research ethics; (6) an annual research symposium; and, (7) a biotechnology--related service project. These requirements are in addition to those associated with the student's particular department or program for the doctoral degree. This program will also provide a central focus for faculty of the various disciplines involved in this training effort to seek out new opportunities for formal ad informal research collaboration.

描述（由申请人提供）：分子生物技术培训对于不断扩大的学科至关重要，这些学科发现基于现代生物学的技能对于追求生物化学、化学工程和植物生物学等领域的研究目标至关重要。认识到这一点，北卡罗来纳州立大学创建了一个核心教育设施，以满足研究生在现代生物学方面需要实验室培训的校园范围内的需求。这不仅有利于学生完成论文研究，而且为学术、政府和工业研究领域的职业机会奠定基础。以该校园教育资源为框架，北卡罗来纳州立大学提议继续开展分子生物技术研究生水平培训计划，该计划将涉及至少 4 个学院和 12 个大学系的学生。下一个培训期需要 7 个实习生名额，大学资源资助的 3 个名额将增加。该计划要求包括完成：（1）研究生水平，实验室辅修分子生物技术； （二）校外工业实习； (3) 顶点生物技术设计课程； (4) 专业发展课程； (5) 研究伦理课程； （六）每年一次的研究研讨会； (7) 生物技术相关服务项目。这些要求是对与学生的特定博士学位课程相关的要求的补充。该计划还将为参与本次培训工作的各个学科的教师提供一个中心焦点，以寻求正式和非正式研究合作的新机会。
