The PI team from University of Oklahoma, University of Delaware, Ohio Wesleyan University, Colorado State University, Unity College, University of Nebraska at Omaha, and San Diego State University has received an award through the Research Coordination Network - Undergraduate Biology Education (RCN-UBE) program to hold a conference entitled RCN-UBE Summit: Learning from the Community of Education Networks. The conference assembles the key personnel from awards of the Research Coordination Network-Undergraduate Biology Education (RCN-UBE) in Washington, DC, early in 2016. Projects funded through this program contribute both to the discipline of biology and to the education of undergraduate biology students; they bring together faculty who would not normally collaborate but who communicate and interact in a variety of newly established networks. This conference of key project personnel is the first time that representatives of all RCN-UBEs have met to exchange information about successful strategies used to advance biology and biology education across America. The summit attendees will include the Principal Investigators of all RCN-UBE projects (22 of the 38 PIs are women), the co-Principal Investigators of all full RCN-UBEs, as well as key network faculty from under-represented groups and faculty from institutions with a highly diverse student population. The first RCN-UBE awards were made in 2009, and there is now a critical mass of projects to warrant a meeting of Principal and co-Principal investigators to share insights, results, and recommendations with each other and the NSF about the formation and work of these undergraduate biology education networks. The summit provides a formal way for personnel to discuss issues related to network management, organization, sustainability, and product dissemination. In particular, this face-to-face meeting is important to current and future projects in order to sustain successful components of projects, how to initiate and cultivate networks of science faculty, and how to promote maximum participation from a diversity of biologists. This award is funded jointly by the Directorate for Biological Sciences, Division of Biological Infrastructure and the Directorate for Education and Human Resources, Division of Undergraduate Education in support of efforts to address the challenges posed in Vision and Change in Undergraduate Education: A Call to Action http://visionandchange.org/finalreport/.

来自俄克拉荷马州大学、特拉华州大学、俄亥俄州卫斯理大学、科罗拉多州立大学、团结学院、内布拉斯加大学奥马哈分校和圣地亚哥州立大学的PI团队通过研究协调网络-生物学本科教育（RCN-UBE）计划获得了一个奖项，以举办一个题为RCN-UBE峰会：从教育网络社区学习的会议。 会议聚集了研究协调网络本科生物学教育（RCN-UBE）奖的主要人员在华盛顿，DC，早在2016年。 通过该计划资助的项目有助于生物学学科和本科生物学学生的教育;他们汇集了教师谁通常不会合作，但谁在各种新建立的网络进行沟通和互动。 这次主要项目人员会议是所有RCN-UBE的代表第一次会面，交流有关在美国推进生物学和生物学教育的成功策略的信息。 峰会与会者将包括所有RCN-UBE项目的首席研究员（38名PI中有22名是女性），所有完整RCN-UBE的共同首席研究员，以及来自代表性不足的群体的关键网络教师和来自学生人口高度多样化的机构的教师。 第一个RCN-UBE奖是在2009年，现在有一个临界质量的项目，以保证主要和共同的主要研究人员的会议，以分享见解，结果和建议，与对方和国家科学基金会关于这些本科生物教育网络的形成和工作。 峰会为员工提供了一个正式的方式来讨论与网络管理，组织，可持续性和产品传播有关的问题。 特别是，这种面对面的会议是重要的，以维持项目的成功组成部分，如何启动和培养科学教师的网络，以及如何促进生物学家的多样性最大限度地参与当前和未来的项目。 该奖项由生物科学理事会，生物基础设施司和教育和人力资源理事会，本科教育司共同资助，以支持应对本科教育中的愿景和变革所带来的挑战：行动呼吁http://visionandchange.org/finalreport/。
