Biology Scholars Program - Type 2

本项目资助生物学学者计划的复制和扩展。目标是继续让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与学学术的生物学家的互动社区；并通过这些生物学家，催化生命科学专业学会网络，以发展持续的本科教育改革为目的。为了实现这些目标，招募生物学家是基于兴趣、改变教学方式的承诺，以及成为他们所在机构和任何生物学专业协会变革的催化剂的意愿。一旦被选中，他们将通过电子通讯得到简要介绍，并与同事一起进行面对面的讲习班体验。他们还会得到专家指导，直到他们在自己所在的机构和专业协会中达到自己在教学和领导同事方面所承诺的目标。大约250名生物学家将接受教育，该项目至少有9个专业学会。该项目由生物科学理事会共同资助。

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.
