The Washington State University Protein Biotechnology Program is an NIGMS-supported training program that prepares graduate students to translate fundamental scientific discoveries into biotechnological innovations. Our program includes 45 students and 45 faculty who represent five diverse graduate programs in four different colleges. This long-running collaboration provides interdisciplinary training to individual students and has resulted in strengthened curricular and physical connections between affiliated departments. Biotech program activities include inter-departmental rotations, supported industrial internships, courses on research practice and biotechnological entrepreneurship, monthly student Forums, student-organized annual research symposia, and research mentoring. To synergize existing capacity with additional dimensions of evaluation, we propose to add evaluation capacity focused on (a) student-centered, (b) formative, and (c) quantitative measurements. The goal is to use a balanced mix of evaluations to attain more complete information for steering specific program improvements and fulfilling student learning outcomes. Our plan describes new measurements for four specific learning outcomes: diversity, equity, and inclusion; faculty mentoring; effectiveness of program updates for building skills; and formative student check-ins to catalyze touchpoint experiences in the program. A team comprised of the Program Coordinator, the Program Director, and a Biotech faculty member will work with program participants to prioritize, create, and validate new evaluation tools. Literature-based tools, such as the Net Promoter concept and CIMER’s Assessment Platform, will be tapped to create new capacity. New evaluation tools will be created and optimized with collaborative instruction from Washington State University’s SESRC evaluation team, ensuring the creation of durable program expertise. Tools will be evaluated for effectiveness by comparisons with existing evaluations, longitudinal changes in new measures, and (for mentor training evaluation with the CIMER platform) comparisons with aggregate data from other implementations. Two Washington State University entities, the Provost’s Office and the Integrated Program for Biomedical Sciences, will make use of new tools to evaluate their programs, creating institutional impact for this funding. We will also publish tools and findings on our program website, present at NIGMS meetings, and (as warranted) publish. In particular, there is a need for more data on the use of the Net Promoter tool, typically a business concept, in academic settings. Following the grant funding period, institutional support exists, in the form of ongoing funding and sustained interactions with SESRC, to maintain and expand created expertise and methodologies.

华盛顿州立大学蛋白质生物技术项目是NIGMS支持的培训项目 培养研究生将基础科学发现转化为生物技术， 创新。我们的计划包括45名学生和45名教师谁代表五个不同的研究生课程 四所不同的大学这种长期合作为个人提供跨学科培训， 学生，并加强了附属部门之间的课程和物理连接。 生物技术计划活动包括跨部门轮换，支持的工业实习， 研究实践和生物技术创业，每月学生论坛，学生组织的年度 研究座谈会和研究指导。使现有能力与其他层面的 评价，我们建议增加评价能力，重点是（a）以学生为中心，（B）形成，和（c） 定量测量。目标是使用均衡的评价组合， 指导具体计划改进和实现学生学习成果的信息。我们的计划 描述了四个具体的学习成果的新衡量标准：多样性，公平性和包容性;教师 指导;培养技能的计划更新的有效性;和形成学生签到，以促进 在节目中的接触点体验。一个由项目协调员、项目主任、 生物技术学院的一名教员将与项目参与者合作，优先考虑，创建和验证新的 评价工具。基于文献的工具，如净启动概念和CIMER评估平台， 将被用来创造新的能力。新的评估工具将与合作伙伴一起创建和优化。 来自华盛顿州立大学的SESRC评估小组的指导，确保建立持久的 程序的专业知识。将通过与现有评价进行比较来评价工具的有效性， 新措施的纵向变化，以及（使用CIMER平台进行导师培训评估） 与来自其他实现的聚合数据进行比较。两个华盛顿州立大学实体， 教务长办公室和生物医学科学综合项目将利用新的工具来评估 他们的计划，为这笔资金创造机构影响。我们还将在我们的 计划网站，出席NIGMS会议，并（如有必要）发布。特别是，需要 更多关于在学术环境中使用Net Promoter工具（通常是一个商业概念）的数据。后 在赠款供资期间，以持续供资和持续互动的形式提供机构支持 与SESRC合作，维护和扩展创造的专业知识和方法。
