Biological Sciences (61)Bioinformatics is central to biology in the 21st century. The use of computer basedanalytical tools on electronically stored and distributed data is fundamentally changinglife science research and its application to problems in medicine, agriculture,conservation, and forensics. In light of this "information revolution" undergraduatebiology curricula must be redesigned to prepare the next generation of informed citizensand prepare those who will pursue careers in the life sciences. The BEDROCK initiative(Bioinformatics Education Dissemination: Reaching Out, Connecting and Knitting-together) is enhancing, expanding, and empowering a national community of bioinformaticseducators. The project goals include: 1) Identify and support faculty who can take aleadership role in bioinformatics education; 2) Highlight and distribute innovativeapproaches to incorporating bioinformatics data and techniques throughout undergraduatebiology education; and, 3) Establish mechanisms for the broad dissemination ofbioinformatics resource materials and innovative teaching models. To achieve these goalswe are holding a series of faculty development workshops around the country; recruitingand supporting a group of innovative faculty to implement and disseminate bioinformaticseducation materials; publishing resources for bioinformatics education and building anetworked collaboratory environment for developing and sharing bioinformaticseducational approaches. This project builds on the established pedagogical philosophy andacademic community of the BioQUEST Curriculum Consortium. Specifically,BEDROCK extends our work in bioinformatics education over the last four years duringwhich we have established a community of collaborators representing the diverseresources required to mount a national dissemination effort.

生物科学(61)生物信息学是21世纪生物学的核心。基于电子存储和分布式数据的基于计算机的分析工具的使用正在从根本上改变生命科学研究及其在医学、农业、环境保护和法医学问题上的应用。鉴于这场“信息革命”，本科生的生物学课程必须重新设计，为下一代见多识广的公民做好准备，并为那些将从事生命科学事业的人做好准备。基础倡议(生物信息学教育传播：接触、连接和编织在一起)正在加强、扩大和增强全国生物信息学引导者社区的能力。该项目的目标包括：1)确定和支持能够在生物信息学教育中发挥领导作用的教师；2)突出并传播将生物信息学数据和技术纳入本科生生物学教育的创新方法；以及3)建立广泛传播生物信息学资源材料和创新教学模式的机制。为了实现这些目标，我们在全国各地举办了一系列教师发展研讨会；招聘和支持一批创新的教师来实施和传播生物信息学教育材料；出版生物信息学教育资源，并为开发和共享生物信息学教育方法建立一个网络协作环境。本项目建立在生物科技大学课程联盟已确立的教学理念和学术社区的基础上。具体地说，基岩在过去四年中扩展了我们在生物信息学教育方面的工作，在此期间，我们建立了一个合作者社区，代表了开展全国传播工作所需的不同来源。
