Dartmouth College is awarded a grant to fund a workshop in support of the Partnership for Undergraduate Life Science Education (PULSE) initiative. The PULSE partners hope to transform undergraduate life science education through a variety of national efforts to help implement recommendations made in the 2011 Vision and Change report. One outcome from this effort was the announcement of 40 Vision and Change Leadership Fellows in September, 2012. The Vision and Change Leadership Fellows are exploring ways to encourage departments to reward faculty member's efforts to improve undergraduate life sciences education. These efforts to improve teaching should increase student learning, should increase retention rates for students in the life sciences, and should prepare all students to be more curious and scientifically literate citizens. The current award is to fund a workshop for eleven of the Fellows who are part of the ?Taking the Pulse? working group. The working group plans to help departments use existing assessment evidence and design new tools to evaluate progress in departmental efforts to implement Vision and Change recommendations. This working group is developing a recognition or certification system for undergraduate biology departments that have adopted recommendations in the Vision and Change Report. The workshop organizers plan to develop specific criteria of what a future "transformed" department might look like; design an accreditation model for certification; assemble a rubric for certification; and begin to share the products of this workshop with the life sciences community, primarily via the www.pulsecommunity.org website.

达特茅斯学院获得了一笔赠款，用于资助一个研讨会，以支持本科生生命科学教育伙伴关系（PULSE）倡议。PULSE合作伙伴希望通过各种国家努力来帮助实施2011年愿景与变革报告中提出的建议，从而改变本科生命科学教育。这一努力的一个成果是2012年9月宣布了40名愿景与变革领导力研究员。“远见与变革领导力奖学金”正在探索鼓励院系奖励教师为改善本科生生命科学教育所做的努力的方法。这些改善教学的努力应该增加学生的学习，应该提高学生在生命科学方面的保留率，应该让所有学生都成为更好奇、更有科学素养的公民。目前的奖项是资助11位参加？量脉搏？工作小组。工作小组计划协助部门使用现有的评估证据，并设计新的工具，以评估部门在落实“展望与变革”建议方面的进展。该工作组正在为采纳《展望与变革报告》建议的本科生物系制定一个认可或认证系统。研讨会组织者计划制定未来“转型”部门的具体标准；设计认证认可模式；组装一个用于认证的标题；并开始与生命科学界分享这次研讨会的成果，主要是通过www.pulsecommunity.org网站。
