This STS training and research project is supported by the Impacts of Biology on Society (IBS) initiative, which is jointly funded by NSF's BIO and SBE directorates.The project will provide rigorous interdisciplinary training and research for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in history and philosophy of the life sciences, with a focus on developmental biology. The program will involve graduate students at Arizona State University (ASU) as well as visiting students from other universities. Participants will receive training in interdisciplinary scholarly research in history and philosophy of science; in addition, they will receive training on digital curating and database managing.The research theme for this training and research project is provided by the Embryo Project, an ongoing project in history and philosophy of developmental biology at ASU's Center for Biology and Society. The Embryo Project explores historical, philosophical, bioethical, legal, and social aspects of developmental biology and its relations to society, all with a solid grounding in developmental biology and its historical development. It pursues these goals through a set of focused projects directed by individual faculty members at the Center for Biology and Society.The Intellectual Merits of this IBS supported training and research project lie with research focused on projects within the history and philosophy of developmental biology. Each member of the training group will play a defined role building upon and beyond existing strengths. Each student will develop a focused research project related to individual career directions, and based on that will write a set of related articles to be submitted for review, editing, and publication in the Embryo Project Encyclopedia. The project's Broader Impacts include the participants learning to communicate research results effectively to multiple user groups, and helping to develop contributions targeted toward K-12 teachers and the broader public, and will take advantage of ASU's outreach activities "Ask a Biologist" and "Chain Reaction." The team-based approach makes it possible for each student to excel in a targeted area while also participating in all other aspects of the project, including outreach.

该STS培训和研究项目由NSF的BIO和SBE董事会共同资助的生物学对社会的影响（IBS）倡议支持。该项目将为研究生和博士后研究员提供严格的跨学科培训和研究，重点是生命科学的历史和哲学，重点是发育生物学。该计划将涉及亚利桑那州立大学（ASU）的研究生以及来自其他大学的访问学生。参与者将接受历史和科学哲学的跨学科学术研究培训，此外，他们还将接受数字策展和数据库管理培训。该培训和研究项目的研究主题由胚胎项目提供，该项目是亚利桑那州立大学生物与社会中心正在进行的发育生物学历史和哲学项目。胚胎项目探索发育生物学的历史，哲学，生物伦理，法律的和社会方面及其与社会的关系，所有这些都具有发育生物学及其历史发展的坚实基础。它通过一系列由生物学与社会中心的个别教职员工指导的重点项目来实现这些目标。这个IBS支持的培训和研究项目的智力价值在于专注于发育生物学历史和哲学中的项目研究。培训小组的每个成员都将在现有优势的基础上发挥明确的作用。每个学生将制定一个与个人职业方向相关的重点研究项目，并在此基础上撰写一系列相关文章，提交给胚胎项目百科全书进行审查，编辑和出版。该项目的更广泛的影响包括参与者学习如何有效地将研究结果传达给多个用户群体，并帮助发展针对K-12教师和更广泛的公众的贡献，并将利用亚利桑那州立大学的外展活动“问生物学家”和“连锁反应”。“基于团队的方法使每个学生都有可能在目标领域表现出色，同时也参与项目的所有其他方面，包括外展。
