This Project Grant award of $7,545,897 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the establishment of the InnovateBio National Biotechnology Education Center at Austin Community College District. The center will focus on sustaining, growing, and empowering the community of biotechnology educators; supporting community and technical college faculty in educating the skilled biotechnology workforce; and enabling community and technical colleges and state partnerships to shape the future of biotechnology workforce education. Key activities include conducting webinars and convenings, developing models for faculty professional development, building the next generation of leaders, and initiating collaborations that connect high schools, 2-year and 4-year institutions with industry and policy advocates.
