This proposed project focuses on (a) bringing together a coalition of educators, scientists, industrial partners, and curriculum developers to establish a strategy for the TPAD technician preparation program; (b) developing a curriculum to provide "hands-on" enhancement opportunity to college instructors in the area of biotechnology; (c) assessing the strategy on an annual basis by the coalition together with outside expert advice and input; and (d) collaborating with industry to develop the required 2-year TPAD reagents and equipment. At the commencement of the project, the Coalition will meet to determine the most effective strategy to initiate and address the project' s specific goals and objectives previously outlined. Undergraduate 2-year college faculty for the project will be recruited locally for each of the summer workshops. The emphasis will be on the East and West Coasts, where the biotechnology industry is concentrated and where the need for technicians is greatest. At the completion of summer workshops, the faculty participants will complete a general evaluation and questionnaire. The faculty practical implementation of experiments in technician TPAD curriculum. There will be a total of 102 faculty participants, over a four-year period. Other institutions which will participating in this project include Seattle Central Community College, Cerritos College, Northern New Mexico Community College, and Prince George's Community College.

这一拟议项目的重点是：(A)将教育工作者、科学家、行业合作伙伴和课程开发人员联盟聚集在一起，为TPAD技术员培养计划制定一项战略；(B)制定一项课程，为大学教师提供生物技术领域的“实践”强化机会；(C)由该联盟与外部专家意见和投入一起，每年对该战略进行评估；以及(D)与业界合作，开发所需的为期2年的TPAD试剂和设备。在项目开始时，联盟将举行会议，以确定启动和解决项目的最有效战略‘S’的具体目标和目的如前所述。该项目的本科两年制大学教师将在当地招聘，参加每个暑期研讨会。重点将放在东海岸和西海岸，那里是生物技术工业的集中地，也是对技术人员需求最大的地区。暑期工作坊结束后，教师学员将完成一份综合评估和问卷调查。教师在技师TPAD课程中实验的实践实施。在四年的时间里，总共将有102名教师参加。其他将参与该项目的机构包括西雅图中央社区学院、塞里托斯学院、新墨西哥州北部社区学院和乔治王子社区学院。
