The State of Alabama has committed to expanding and sustaining its bioscience and nanotechnology resources, providing opportunities for K-20 synergism and leveraging of state resources. With an ultimate objective to have all students prepared and well grounded in math and science technology, thereby improving the economic landscape for future scientists, researchers, and technicians, this MSP-Start project is researching, planning, and developing a full MSP Partnership between an EPSCoR program, nano- and biotechnology industries in Alabama, the Alabama Department of Education, and Alabama public school systems. A distinctive characteristic of this work is that it brings together the highly organized Alabama Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (ALEPSCoR) into a partnership to promote STEM education in K-12 schools, with a vision of using ALEPSCoR programming and institutions to raise academic standards and student performance. The long-term goals of the new partnership are: 1. To improve current K-12 programs by raising student achievement levels through cooperation of existing NSF-supported nanotechnology, biotechnology and sensor ALEPSCoR research groups, the Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative (AMSTI), and school districts throughout Alabama. 2. To change the culture of higher education through training of ALEPSCoR-sponsored graduate students - the next generation of researchers and innovators - on education and outreach activities. 3. To research and evaluate a method for incorporating EPSCoR research-based activities into K-12 programs in other EPSCoR states as an innovative partnership model. The MSP-Start project builds on existing educational partnerships to form a comprehensive new MSP Partnership, through a process led by Alabama teachers and faculty at Tuskegee University, Alabama A&M University, Alabama State University, Auburn University, and campuses of the University of Alabama system. The scope of work for the participants in the MSP-Start project is to develop plans to leverage their strengths while evolving the new partnership, especially addressing all of the components of the national MSP program.

亚拉巴马州致力于扩大和维持其生物科学和纳米技术资源，为K-20协同作用和利用州资源提供机会。 最终目标是让所有学生在数学和科学技术方面做好准备并打好基础，从而改善未来科学家，研究人员和技术人员的经济前景，该MSP启动项目正在研究，规划和开发EPSCoR计划，亚拉巴马纳米和生物技术行业，亚拉巴马教育部和亚拉巴马公立学校系统之间的全面MSP合作伙伴关系。 这项工作的一个鲜明特点是，它汇集了高度组织的亚拉巴马实验计划，以刺激竞争力的研究（ALEPSCoR）到伙伴关系，以促进在K-12学校干教育，使用ALEPSCoR编程和机构的愿景，以提高学术标准和学生的表现。 新伙伴关系的长期目标是： 1. 通过现有NSF支持的纳米技术，生物技术和传感器ALEPSCoR研究小组，亚拉巴马数学，科学和技术倡议（AMSTI）和整个亚拉巴马学区的合作，提高学生的成绩水平，以改善当前的K-12计划。 2. 通过对ALEPSCoR赞助的研究生-下一代研究人员和创新者-进行教育和外联活动培训，改变高等教育的文化。 3. 研究和评估将EPSCoR研究活动纳入其他EPSCoR州K-12计划的方法，作为创新的合作伙伴关系模式。MSP启动项目建立在现有的教育合作伙伴关系，形成一个全面的新MSP合作伙伴关系，通过一个由亚拉巴马教师和教师在塔斯基吉大学，亚拉巴马A M大学，亚拉巴马州立大学，奥本大学，和亚拉巴马系统的校园领导的过程。 MSP启动项目参与者的工作范围是制定计划，在发展新的伙伴关系的同时利用他们的优势，特别是解决国家MSP计划的所有组成部分。
