项目摘要

The ATE program supports biotechnology technician education programs that partner with industry to ensure the education of a skilled bioscience technical workforce. Yet, there remains a gap between educational preparation and industry’s recognition of potential workers who have completed two-year biotechnology programs. Over the next ten years, reports predict that life science companies will have an increased demand for skilled technical workers, and that filling these positions will be difficult. Thus, preparation of sufficient biotechnicians represents a significant need for the biological economy and related sectors. This project aims to bridge the gap between education and industry through an industry-recognized biotechnician credentialing system. Recently, the Bioscience Industry has identified the Biotechnician Assistant Credentialing Exam (BACE) as an effective tool to certify student capabilities. This exam is already used in six states and the District of Columbia, thus increasing its potential to become the industry-recognized credentialing system for entry-level biotechnicians. This project will pilot the BACE system in five additional states, build consortia of industry and education stakeholders, and disseminate BACE broadly through InnovATEBIO (an NSF ATE Center of Excellence) and the Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing of Cell-based Therapies (an Advanced Technical Education Coordination Network). A nationwide industry-recognized credentialing system will give students a portable credential that is recognized across the nation, thus helping to address the workforce gap in the life science industry. This credentialing model may also inform credentialing approaches for other areas of technician education.The BACE credential was developed through engagement of educators with industry and industry representatives. This partnership continues to evaluate the credential to ensure that it meets changing industry needs. This project intends to expand the number of states using the BACE by adding Georgia, Washington, California, Texas, and Nebraska. To this end, it will set up state task forces comprised of industry professionals, educational leaders, and government representatives. Each task force will examine the use and sustainability of BACE in their state. Testing sites will be established in each state, and the sites will provide faculty and teachers with professional development to understand the BACE, so they can support students’ exam preparation. The project will leverage the extensive networks of InnovATEBIO and the Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing of Cell-based Therapies to disseminate the BACE credential, and also disseminate it through national and state industry associations, district-level industry advisory boards, boards of education, technical educators, and government officials. A nationally recognized credential has strong potential to improve the transition from two-year college technician education programs to employment in the biotechnology industry. This result would not only serve the industry, but also serve the emerging workforce by identifying skillsets in demand across the country. This project is funded by the Advanced Technological Education program that focuses on the education of technicians for the advanced-technology fields that drive the nation’s economy.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
ATE计划支持与行业合作的生物技术技术人员教育计划,以确保熟练的生物科学技术人员的教育。然而,在教育准备和工业界对完成两年生物技术课程的潜在工人的认可之间仍然存在差距。报告预测,在未来十年内,生命科学公司对熟练技术工人的需求将增加,填补这些职位将是困难的。 因此,培养足够的生物技术人员是生物经济和相关部门的一项重大需求。该项目旨在通过行业认可的生物技术人员资格认证制度,弥合教育和行业之间的差距。最近,生物科学行业已经确定生物技术助理认证考试(BACE)作为认证学生能力的有效工具。 该考试已经在六个州和哥伦比亚特区使用,从而增加了其成为入门级生物技术人员行业认可的认证系统的潜力。该项目将在另外五个州试点BACE系统,建立行业和教育利益相关者联盟,并通过InnovATEBIO(NSF ATE卓越中心)和先进制造细胞疗法联盟(先进技术教育协调网络)广泛传播BACE。一个全国性的行业认可的认证系统将为学生提供一个在全国范围内得到认可的便携式证书,从而有助于解决生命科学行业的劳动力缺口。这种认证模式也可以为技术人员教育的其他领域的认证方法提供信息。BACE证书是通过教育工作者与行业和行业代表的合作开发的。 这种伙伴关系将继续评估证书,以确保它满足不断变化的行业需求。该项目旨在通过增加格鲁吉亚、华盛顿、加州、德克萨斯和内布拉斯加来扩大使用BACE的州的数量。 为此,它将成立由行业专业人士、教育领导人和政府代表组成的国家工作队。 每个工作组都将审查BACE在其所在州的使用和可持续性。每个州都将建立考试地点,这些地点将为教师和教师提供专业发展,以了解BACE,以便他们能够支持学生的考试准备。该项目将利用InnovATEBIO和先进制造细胞疗法联盟的广泛网络来传播BACE证书,并通过国家和州行业协会,地区级行业咨询委员会,教育委员会,技术教育工作者和政府官员进行传播。一个国家认可的证书有很大的潜力,以改善从两年制大学技术教育计划的过渡到生物技术行业的就业。这一结果不仅将服务于该行业,而且还将通过确定全国各地需求的技能组合来服务于新兴劳动力。该项目由先进技术教育计划资助,该计划侧重于为推动国家经济的先进技术领域培养技术人员。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
