Erb Reporter Nestled in the tranquil Texas countryside, sur rounded by grazing cattle and peaceful streams, geneticists splice genes and transfer embryos while ocean geologists piece together the giant jigsaw puzzle of Earth’s drifting continents. Texas A&M University Research Park — 434 acres of landscaped grounds on the west side of the A&M campus — provides the breeding ground for these research partnerships between private-sector industry and academia. The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) National Training Center, the next Research Park tenant, after it relocates its facility next April from Fort Worth to a $3 million, 35,000- square-foot facility on a six-acre site. Dr. Walter F. Juliff, director of Veterinary Professional Development and project manager for the contracting of the FSIS training program, said the facility will cater to the training of red meat and poultry inspectors and to veterinarians. “Approximately 1,200 food inspectors and 400 veterinarians will go through the training center annually,’’Juliff said. “Over a year’s time, we expect a total of 3,000 students, which means some will come more than once.” FSIS will join Granada Genetics, the Ocean Drilling Program and Biophor Corporation as Texas A&M pioneers of the research park con cept. Modeled after the theory introduced by the Stanford Industrial Park in 1951 —better known as Silicon Valley — the University-owned Re search Park leases land to industry on a long term basis and at an attractive price. Dr. John B. Millohollon, assistant for Research Park Development and vice chancellor of Re search Park and Corporate Relations, said A&M students benefit from the Research Park by em ployment opportunities with research-oriented- high-technology industries that better prepare them for life after graduation than typical stu dentjobs.
