0125668 Luzzi This award is to the University of Pennsylvania to support the activity described below for 36 months. The proposal was submitted in response to the Partnerships for Innovation Program Solicitation (NSF 0179).PartnersThe partners in this effort are the University of Pennsylvania (Lead Institution), Drexel University, the Collegiate Consortium, HUBS (Hospitals, Universities, Businesses, Schools), MAGPI (Metropolitan Area GifaPop in Philadelphia for Internet2), Bucks County Community College, Delaware County CC, Montgomery County CC, the CC of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, Camden County CC in New Jersey, Delaware Technical CC in Delaware, Hartford CC in Maryland, SAIC through HUBS, Centocor, Cephalon, Sunthes, Life Sensors, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Ben Franklin Technology Partners.Proposed ActivitiesThis proposal presents a partnership or academic, non-profit and corporate partners in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland region to provide the infrastructure, curriculum development, teacher training and curriculum implementation for Associates Degree programs in nano- and nano-bio-technology. The proposal includes the building of an infrastructure that will leverage the power of high bandwidth communications for regional virtual classrooms and telexperimentation. The program also includes outreach to high schools in the region.Proposed InnovationThe proposal centers on the need for a technically skilled workforce, if the region is to achieve its full economic potential in the technology-rich pharmaceutical, life science and advanced chemical sectors. The companies in these technology sectors will need workers from PhDs to technicians to enable growth and economic well-being. The partners propose a coordinated effort in tech-based outreach for education and training, especially at the associates degree level. Approaches included are internet portal and collaboration groupware to support dynamic formation of research teams and virtual classrooms, distance learning, tele-experimentation with remote participation in experiments via near-real-time digital images of scientific instruments, high-bandwidth communication through Internet 2 for video-conferencing.Potential Economic ImpactPartnerships with universities, community colleges, the private sector, and regional government are needed to provide the workforce education/training from associate degree through PhD degrees will provide the workforce needed to attract and retain high-tech industry in pharmaceuticals, advanced chemical, and life sciences to the four-state region.Potential Societal ImpactCurrently a significantly lower percentage of the high school graduates in the region receive education beyond high school than for Silicon Valley. The region needs a highly-trained workforce to attract and retain industry for high paying jobs. The young people in the region now have to accept low-paying jobs or relocate. This integrated effort will provide the training and the jobs needed to change that.

0125668 Luzzi 这个奖项是宾夕法尼亚大学支持下面描述的活动36个月。 该提案是为了响应创新伙伴关系计划征集而提交的（NSF 0179）。合作伙伴这项工作的合作伙伴是宾夕法尼亚大学（牵头机构），德雷克塞尔大学，大学联盟，HUBS（医院、大学、企业、学校）、MAGPI（费城的大都会区GifaPop用于Internet 2），巴克斯县社区学院，特拉华州县CC，蒙哥马利县CC，宾夕法尼亚州费城的CC，新泽西的卡姆登县CC、特拉华州的特拉华州技术CC、马里兰州的哈特福德CC、通过HUBS的SAIC、Centocor、Cephalon、Sunthes、Life Sensors、宾夕法尼亚州联邦和Ben富兰克林Technology Partners。建议的活动本建议书提出了在宾夕法尼亚州、新泽西、特拉华州、马里兰州地区建立合作伙伴关系或学术、非营利和企业合作伙伴关系，以提供基础设施、课程开发、教师培训和课程实施的准学士学位课程在纳米和纳米生物技术。 该提案包括建立一个基础设施，利用高带宽通信的力量，用于区域虚拟教室和电传实验。 该计划还包括对该地区高中的推广。拟议创新该提案的核心是，如果该地区要在技术丰富的制药、生命科学和先进化工领域充分发挥其经济潜力，就需要一支技术熟练的劳动力。 这些技术领域的公司将需要从博士到技术人员的员工，以实现增长和经济福祉。 合作伙伴建议在以技术为基础的教育和培训推广方面作出协调努力，特别是在副学士学位一级。 所采用的方法包括因特网门户和协作群件，以支持动态组建研究小组和虚拟教室、远程学习、通过科学仪器的近实时数字图像远程参与实验的远程实验、通过因特网2进行视频会议的高带宽通信。和地区政府需要提供从副学士学位到博士学位的劳动力教育/培训，这将提供吸引和留住制药、先进化工、和生命科学，潜在的社会影响目前，该地区高中毕业生接受高中以上教育的比例明显低于硅谷。 该地区需要训练有素的劳动力，以吸引和留住高薪工作的行业。 该地区的年轻人现在不得不接受低薪工作或搬迁。 这一综合努力将提供改变这种状况所需的培训和工作。
