TRIAD: Reforming Graduate Education by Integrating Teaching, Research, and Industry Applications to Deepen Scientific Understanding

项目标题：Triad：通过整合教学、研究和行业应用来深化科学理解来改革研究生教育：田纳西州立大学(MTSU)中部机构；田纳西州立大学(TSU)合作伙伴：Anthony Farone，Ph.，Mary Farone，Ph.，E.Lewis Myles，Ph.，Kim Sadler，Ed.D.三合会计划将在田纳西州中部的研究生研究员(GF)、合作教师(PT)和他们的高中生物学学生，以及生物技术/生物医药行业合作伙伴(IP)之间建立三重联系。主题是《细胞和分子生物学研究的应用》。三合会将使政府飞行服务队(1)透过教学和演讲提高沟通技巧，同时与教师、学生、其他政府飞行服务队和知识产权分享他们的研究成果；(2)透过生物课室将他们的研究与应用技术/产品联系起来；以及(3)与业界科学家互动。每年夏天，GF-PT配对将在GF的研究实验室和IP？S设施中度过一段时间。根据这一经验，GF-PT对将在GF-IP感兴趣的研究领域开发一个教学单元。GFS还将在研究项目中指导高中生物学生。研究员将帮助学生开发假设，进行实验，分析数据，得出结论，并向田纳西初级科学院提交演示文稿。三合会的智力价值包括研究，以确定行业互动和研究指导经验是否会培养更有准备的研究生科学家，以及让PTS和他们的学生参与GFS的探究性研究是否会提高生物学的标准化考试分数和/或鼓励更多的学生追求STEM职业生涯。三合会计划的三个方面的互动将产生广泛的影响，通过行业联系和K-12 STEM研究生教育的经验；吸引来自高需求学校的高中生物学生参与基于探究的研究；以及与行业合作伙伴关系，延长影响科学教育连续性(K-20+)的长期、可持续的项目。

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+).
