The project is establishing a two semester certificate program in stem-cell technologies targeted at post-baccalaureates and individuals who have completed, or are nearing completion of, the associate degree biotechnology program. It responds to the needs of local industry. Materials developed for this program will help the college integrate relevant stem cell techniques into an existing Associate of Applied Science degree program. Intellectual Merit: Stem cell research is a rapidly emerging field and has become an integral component of many emerging biotechnology companies. This project offers the opportunity to develop and test materials and approaches needed to produce capable well-educated stem cell technicians. Broader Impacts: Materials developed will become available through Bio-Link, a National Center of Excellence in Biotechnology. A faculty-enhancement workshop and national educator's conference will further extend the impact of this project to the high school students, college students, and professionals served by those educators. Outreach efforts to institutions in the area serving students currently underrepresented in the biotechnology field, and in STEM generally, are also part of the broader impacts of this project.

该项目正在建立一个两学期的干细胞技术证书课程，目标是学士后和已经完成或即将完成副学士生物技术课程的个人。它响应了当地工业的需求。 为该计划开发的材料将有助于学院将相关的干细胞技术整合到现有的应用科学学位课程中。 智力优势：干细胞研究是一个迅速崛起的领域，已成为许多新兴生物技术公司不可或缺的组成部分。 该项目提供了机会，开发和测试所需的材料和方法，以产生有能力的受过良好教育的干细胞技术人员。 更广泛的影响：开发的材料将通过Bio-Link，一个国家生物技术卓越中心提供。 一个教师增强讲习班和全国教育工作者会议将进一步扩大这一项目的影响，以高中生，大学生和专业人员由这些教育工作者服务。 对该地区服务于目前在生物技术领域和一般STEM领域代表性不足的学生的机构的外联工作也是该项目更广泛影响的一部分。
