The American Physiology Society (APS), in collaboration with the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT) and the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), are fostering improvement of undergraduate life sciences education by supporting the formation of collaborative working relationships among life sciences faculty at 2- and 4-year colleges (including community colleges), physiology research faculty, and physiology teaching faculty. Specifically, the project is promoting the creation of ongoing working relationships among triads of faculty from the three groups noted above through research and curriculum development experiences, and computer networks; and promoting the adoption of national reforms for undergraduate content and effective pedagogical techniques among undergraduate faculty through curricular materials and in service activities developed collaboratively by these triads. The project is promoting the establishment of long-term collegial relationships that benefit all members. Initially, the 2- and 4-year college faculty members work with a physiology research faculty member on a summer research experience, attend sessions on effective pedagogy during a summer institute at the HAPS annual meeting and, subsequently, work with the other members of the triad to collaboratively develop new curricular materials for the undergraduate life sciences classroom. Interested triads will then go on to develop and conduct a local professional development workshop for life sciences faculty in their geographic area. Curricular materials developed during the project will be field-tested, edited, and published by NABT. The project is designed to allow the continuation of these activities as a part of the long-term activities of the APS Education Office.

美国生理学会（APS）与全国生物学教师协会（NABT）和人体解剖学和生理学学会（HAPS）合作，通过支持2年制和4年制大学（包括社区学院）生命科学教师，生理学研究教师和生理学教学教师之间形成合作工作关系，促进本科生命科学教育的改善。 具体而言，该计划正透过研究和课程发展经验，以及电脑网络，促进上述三个组别的三位教师建立持续的工作关系;并透过三位教师合作发展的课程教材和服务活动，促进大学部教师采用国家大学部教学内容改革和有效的教学方法。该项目正在促进建立有利于所有成员的长期合议关系。 最初，2年和4年的大学教员与生理学研究教员一起工作，进行夏季研究，参加HAPS年会夏季研究所期间的有效教学法会议，随后，与其他成员合作开发新的课程材料为本科生命科学课堂。 感兴趣的三合会将继续发展和进行当地的专业发展讲习班的生命科学教师在他们的地理区域。 在项目期间开发的课程材料将由NABT进行实地测试，编辑和出版。 该项目旨在使这些活动作为APS教育办公室长期活动的一部分得以继续。
