Implementation Grant: TALENT-21 Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Program at the Interface of Mathematics and Biology

北卡罗来纳州AT州立大学的项目名为“TALENT-21数学和生物学接口跨学科本科课程”，正在开发数学和生物学接口跨学科本科课程。该计划在数学和计算生物学（MCB）的目标是为来自不同STEM教育背景的非洲裔美国学生提供综合教育，研究培训和专业发展环境，为MCB领域的研究生学习或职业生涯做好准备。人才-21跨学科本科课程将综合研究工作，将学生的研究参与与课程和课程开发，教师的教学和学习奖学金，以及教师的研究发展联系起来。 该计划将设计一个数学和计算生物学的学术辅修课程，作为课程和研究选择，以扩大参与并加强MCB中STEM学生的准备。它将通过促进研究的专业发展和促进跨学科和合作研究的机会，促进教师的研究增长。该计划有可能成为一个模式，增加少数民族学生的数量追求STEM学位课程和职业生涯，以及帮助初级教师建立一个渐进的学术生涯，同时协助一些高级教师重新装备自己是积极和富有成效的教学和学习的奖学金。

North Carolina A&T State University's project entitled - TALENT-21 Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Program at the Interface of Mathematics and Biology - is developing an interdisciplinary undergraduate program at the interface of Mathematics and Biology. The goal of this program in mathematical and computational biology (MCB) is to provide African American students from diverse STEM educational backgrounds with an integrated education, research training and professional development environment to prepare them for graduate studies or professional careers in the field of MCB. The TALENT-21 Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Program will synthesize research efforts that link student research engagement with course and curriculum development, faculty teaching and learning scholarship, and faculty research development. The program will devise an academic minor program in mathematical and computational biology as a curriculum and research option to broaden the participation and enhanced preparation of STEM students in MCB. It will facilitate research growth for faculty by contributing to professional development in research and by promoting interdisciplinary and collaborative research opportunities. This program has the potential to be a model for increasing the number of minority students to pursue STEM degree programs and careers, as well as for helping junior faculty to build a progressive academic career, while assisting some senior faculty to retool themselves to be active and productive in scholarship in teaching and learning.
