Biology Scholars Program - Type 2

该项目为生物学学者计划的复制和扩展提供资金。目标是继续授权更多的生物学家成为科学教育改革的领导者;扩大和支持致力于科学教学和教学奖学金的生物学家的互动社区;并通过这些生物学家，促进生命科学专业协会的网络，以发展可持续的本科教育改革。为了实现这些目标，生物学家是根据兴趣招募的，致力于改变他们的教学方式，并愿意成为他们所在机构和他们所属的任何生物专业社会变革的催化剂。一旦被选中，他们将通过电子通信进行简要介绍，并与他们的同事一起参加一个激烈的面对面研讨会。他们还提供了专家指导，直到他们已经达到了他们所承诺的目标，在教学和领导同事在他们的家机构，并通过他们的专业社会实现。大约250名生物学家将接受教育，至少有9个专业团体将参加该项目，该项目由生物科学局共同资助。

This project funds the replication and extension of the Biology Scholars Program. The goals are to continue to empower more biologists to be leaders in science education reform; to expand and support an interactive community of biologists committed to scientific teaching and the scholarship of teaching and learning; and through these biologists, to catalyze the network of life science professional societies for the purpose of developing sustained undergraduate education reform. To accomplish these goals, biologists are recruited based on interest, a commitment to changing the way they teach, and a willingness to become catalysts for change at their institution and any biological professional society they belong to. Once selected they are briefed through electronic communication and brought together with their colleagues for an intense face to face workshop experience. They are also provided with expert mentoring until they have reached the goals they have committed to achieving in teaching and leading colleagues at their home institution and through their professional society. Approximately 250 biologists are to be educated and at least 9 professional societies are targeted in this project.This project is being co-funded by the Directorate for Biological Sciences.
