This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $246,658 to the Bioquest Curriculum Consortium, Inc. to build an open education ecosystem (OEE) that facilitates the adoption and adaptation of computational and data-centric tools across undergraduate biology education. The project aims to create a networked system that integrates existing scientific and educational resources to help faculty and students develop their computational skills and break down barriers to participation in the scientific workforce, especially for traditionally underrepresented groups. Key focus areas include high-performance computing, using scientific data, modeling and simulation, and interactive data tools. The project will design an information architecture to support STEM education and research interoperability, enable scalable classroom access to computational resources, and promote embedded cybertraining. This work is intended to empower marginalized learner communities by improving their exposure to and engagement with contemporary scientific principles and practices.
