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.

本申请旨在更新 1989 年首次授予华盛顿州立大学的生物技术培训补助金，即 NIH 资助的博士前项目的第一年。该补助金于 1994 年通过竞争性更新，现在我们申请下一个 5 年期。自上次更新以来，我们的培训师资力量突出，所获得的荣誉包括两次当选美国国家科学院院士，并且我们的学员开创了一种成就模式。我们的跨学科项目主要侧重于蛋白质化学，这是华盛顿州立大学的一个突出领域，对生物技术至关重要。来自四个学院（农业、工程、科学和兽医）六个学位授予单位的 20 名教职人员在该领域提供深度和广度，并将担任实习研究的导师。学员参加核心培训，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研讨会。特别值得一提的是，创新生物技术课程围绕学生小组开发生物技术提案、利用实验室轮换建立跨学科联系以及广受好评的实习计划而组织。该项目在生物化学/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、兽医微生物学和病理学等学位课程选择上具有很大的灵活性。每年都会有五名新学员加入该计划。头两年的工资支持将由培训补助金提供，并由机构资金补充，随后几年将由机构资金提供，随后几年将由导师可用的资金提供。任何时候，大约有 30 名学生参与培训。该机构坚定地致力于培训计划，并继续提供财政支持。培训师资队伍在竞争性研究经费和培养多产、杰出的科学家和工程师方面拥有良好的记录。在最初的几年里，我们招收了一批多元化的高素质学生，其中包括大量女性和少数族裔。毕业的学员获得了博士后研究人员的竞争性职位，随后又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方面最先进的培训以及生物技术应用方面的教育，两者都强调蛋白质化学，从而培养具有良好跨学科背景、有资格满足专业要求的科学家和工程师。生物技术的需要。
