Title of Project: TRIAD: Reforming Graduate Education by Integrating Teaching, Research, and Industry Applications to Deepen Scientific Understanding Institutions: Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU); Tennessee State University (TSU)Co-PIs: Anthony Farone, Ph.D., Mary Farone, Ph.D., E. Lewis Myles, Ph.D., Kim Sadler, Ed.D. The TRIAD program will make a three-fold connection between graduate fellows (GF), partner teachers (PT) and their high school biology students, and biotechnology/biomedical industry partners (IP) in middle Tennessee. The theme is ?Applications of Cellular and Molecular Biology Research.? TRIAD will allow GFs to (1) improve communication skills through teaching and presentations while sharing their research with PTs, students, other GFs, and IPs; (2) connect their research to applied technologies/products through a classroom biology unit; and (3) interact with industry scientists. Each summer, GF-PT pairs will spend time in the research laboratory of the GF and in the IP?s facility. Following this experience, the GF-PT pair will develop a teaching unit on a research area of interest to the GF-IP. GFs will also mentor high school biology students in research projects. Fellows will help students develop hypotheses, conduct experiments, analyze data, draw conclusions, and submit a presentation to the Tennessee Junior Academy of Science. Intellectual merit of TRIAD includes research to determine if industry interactions and research mentoring experiences create better prepared graduate student scientists, and if engaging PTs and their students in inquiry-based research with GFs will increase standardized test scores in biology and/or encourage more students to pursue STEM careers.The TRIAD program three-fold interactions will have broad impacts through industry connections and a K-12 experience with STEM graduate education; engaging high school biology students from high-need schools in inquiry-based research; and with industry partnerships extending long-term, sustainable programs impacting the science education continuum (K-20+).

项目名称：三合会：通过整合教学，研究和行业应用来改革研究生教育，以加深科学理解机构：中田纳西州立大学（MTSU）;田纳西州立大学（大津）Co-PI：Anthony Farone，博士，玛丽·法隆博士，E.刘易斯迈尔斯博士，Kim Sadler，教育学博士TRIAD计划将在田纳西州中部的研究生研究员（GF），合作教师（PT）及其高中生物学学生和生物技术/生物医学行业合作伙伴（IP）之间建立三重联系。 主题是什么？细胞与分子生物学研究应用 TRIAD将允许GF（1）通过教学和演示提高沟通技巧，同时与PT，学生，其他GF和IP分享他们的研究;（2）通过课堂生物单元将他们的研究与应用技术/产品联系起来;（3）与行业科学家互动。 每年夏天，GF-PT对将花时间在GF的研究实验室和IP？的设施。 根据这一经验，GF-PT配对将开发一个关于GF-IP感兴趣的研究领域的教学单元。 GF还将在研究项目中指导高中生物学学生。 研究员将帮助学生发展假设，进行实验，分析数据，得出结论，并提交演示文稿给科学的田纳西州少年学院。TRIAD的智力价值包括研究，以确定是否行业互动和研究指导经验创造更好的准备研究生科学家，如果让PT和他们的学生与GF进行基于探究的研究，将增加生物学标准化考试成绩和/或鼓励更多的学生追求STEM职业。TRIAD计划的三重互动将通过行业联系和K-STEM研究生教育的经验;让来自高需求学校的高中生物学学生参与基于探究的研究;并与行业合作伙伴关系扩展影响科学教育连续体（K-20+）的长期，可持续计划。
