Although there is growing national recognition of the need to reform undergraduate biology education, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and Tribal Colleges have comparatively been slow to respond. Slow response time primarily is due to a lack of resources, including faculty training and professional development opportunities. The goal of this proposal is to conduct microarray technology workshop for 48 faculty teaching high proportions of underrepresented minority undergraduates. The workshop, to be held at Morehouse College in summer 2005, will be organized by Dr. A. Malcolm Campbell (Davidson College) and Dr. Edison R. Fowlks (Hampton University), members of the Genome Consortium for Active Teaching (GCAT; www.davidson.edu/GCAT). The workshop will be the third NSF-supported GCAT workshop and will provide background information and readings on microarrays, software training, hands-on experience with microarray data analysis, and wet-lab experiences with DNA microarray hybridization. Workshop participants are expected to integrate microarray technology into their courses. Participants will be able to provide their students the opportunity to work with real DNA microarray data so they can discover first hand how biology is an informational science, and organisms are complex systems. Faculty at HBCUs, HSIs, and Tribal Colleges (TCs) will be recruited for participation.

虽然越来越多的国家认识到有必要改革本科生物教育，历史上黑人学院和大学（HBCU），西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）和部落学院的反应相对缓慢。反应时间缓慢主要是由于缺乏资源，包括教师培训和专业发展机会。该提案的目标是为48名教授高比例代表性不足的少数族裔本科生的教师举办微阵列技术研讨会。该讲习班将于2005年夏季在莫尔豪斯学院举行，由A。马尔科姆坎贝尔（戴维森学院）和博士爱迪生R。Fowlks（汉普顿大学），积极教学基因组联盟（GCAT; www.davidson.edu/GCAT）的成员。 该研讨会将是NSF支持的第三次GCAT研讨会，并将提供有关微阵列的背景信息和读物，软件培训，微阵列数据分析的实践经验，以及DNA微阵列杂交的湿实验室经验。 研讨会的参与者预计将集成微阵列技术到他们的课程。参与者将能够为他们的学生提供使用真实的DNA微阵列数据的机会，这样他们就可以直接发现生物学是一门信息科学，生物体是一个复杂的系统。 HBCU，HSI和部落学院（TC）的教师将被招募参加。
